Hello Martin,
Mapserver does not know you want to view the US state boundaries layer.
Two solutions:
1. Give the US State boundaries layer the STATUS DEFAULT instead of ON
2. Include the layername with the layers statement.
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=usa1.map&mode=map&layers=US state
boundaries. It's easier by the way (for a start) that you do not include
spaces in the name of the layer.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] starting-problem: doesn't show the content
Hi,
I am new to the MapServer and tried a demo-mapfile, but it shows me no
Shapefile and no Tiff.
I installed the win-version ms4w (4.6). The demo-mapfile (usa1.map) came
into the directory c:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\, the shapefile "statesp020" to
my own directory c:\ms4w\usr\shapes\. The only thing I changed in the
demo-map was the SHAPEPATH, from "/var/www/html/data" to
"c:\ms4w\usr\shapes\" (and the imagepath, but that should not be the
problem). When I start mapserv with
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=usa1.map&mode=map";, I get a grey
rectangle and the text-layer "Made with Mapserver". The Mapserver works
but it doesn't show me the shapefile.
The same with the example usa3.map which should render a RASTER. I change
the data-path to the path of the tif, but it doesn't show up. I tried to
copy shape and tif directly into the cgi-bin-directory, where the .map is,
but no difference.
I guess mapserver can't find the data.
The log-file isn't very informative:
"Sat Dec 17 13:43:24
2005,3728,127.0.0.1,USA1,3,-8000000.000000 -3162500.000000 5000000.000000
4962500.000000,-1.000000 -1.000000,,normal execution"
Any ideas?
Greetings and thanks,
Martin Vigerske
