Robert, You have to put al index shapefiles in the path you defined in the map file as shape path, like "../data", which is relatively to your map file. Use one shape path. This is the path where you put all other normal shapefiles in, you can test first if your app and your map file finds a "normal" shape file instead of an index shape file. Each index shape file you have myindex1.shp, myindex2.shp etc, has a shape file and a dbf file. In the dbf file you have a field, in your case, called "Location" (The TILEITEM definition in your layer file). In that field you have to put the full path and name of each of your file, e.g. G:\gisdata\yourdir\tif\picture1.TIF. (In windows these are backslashes in the shape file!, in the mapfile you use slashes! ) Each picture has its own record and points to the picture path\name.ext. You can check the content of the dbf-file with a gis tool that can read shapes, or open the dbf with a viewer, like excel.
Succes!

A rectangular shapefile (myindex.shp) is created by doing as follows 1. commandline: C:/ms4w/setenv.bat (2. commandline: C:\>gdalinfo --formats) 3. commandline: for mrsid gdaltindex C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\samples\data\sid\myindex.shp G:\gisdata\...\mrsid\*.sid or for tif: gdaltindex C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\samples\data\tif\myindex.shp G:\gisdata\...\tif\*.tif This created the myindex.shp files and I can view them with desktop GIS (spatially referenced rectangles). I have in G:/ more than 1000 referenced images -next to each other- covering the whole research area. My application do not show the layer, when I write at the mapfile: Map Extent... ... SHAPEPATH "../data" SHAPEPATH "G:/gisdata/.../tif" ... Layer Group "catalog" Name Aerialimages Type Raster Status OFF TILEINDEX "./tif/myindex.shp" TILEITEM "Location" MINSCALE 5000 MAXSCALE 200000 ... -do the created file by gdal have to be at the same folder as the rasterdata? -can I set two SHAPEPATH in the mapfile? -might be a problem of too many layers? -the drive G:/ is not available to the mapserver? (I tried unsuccessful with some .shp data) Any ideas and tips are welcome, Robert _______________________________________________ ms4w-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
