I'm assuming you are doing all this on windows. I suggest getting FWTools from maptools.org. It will include the command line program shp2img. This sounds most definitely like a configuration problem at your end, with the map file. If you want to jump over to the mapserver mailing list (or #mapserver channel on IRC would be even better) - then you can get some more help. But feel free to email me your map file and I'll have a peek. It's probably an EXTENT and PROJECTION problem.

On your article you refer to a program called "shp2img" and say if you have=

map server installed in a way that you can use it. How is that "way"?=20
Currently I got your example working along with some others I found.=20
However, I'm now trying to add my own stuff and it's not working. We use=20
arcGIS for our mapping and can't seem to get the files to show up on ka map=
=20
(it's terribly annoying having to empty the cache directory so that's why I=
=20
wanted that utility). This is the case with both our aerials and shape=20
files???
Basically I took your example map file and changed it's name and referenced=
=20
our tiff exported from our mapping software along with our shape files=20
instead of the examples (and changed ka maps config file to include it and=
=20
that seems to work as it's an options). At first we thought our projections=
=20
were off and that could be the problem, but we changed them to fit the=20
example's projection type and still nothing shows up. Furthermore I'm not=
=20
getting any errors that let me know what the issue is (I get the "PHP Fatal=
=20
error: [MapServer Error]: msImageLoadGD(): ((null)) in=20
/var/www/html/KaMap/keymap.php on line 38" error since I don't have a=20
reference map but I dont' have that on the example either and it works). If=
=20
you go to the cache directory, it is making tiled images but they're just=
=20
blank...
I'm guessing this is more of a issue concerning mapserver but if anyone has=

any hints or experience doing the same I would really appreciate your=20
feedback. I've learned a lot in two days but I still have a ways to go.
Thanks,

Tyler, <br>
<br>
On your article you refer to a program called "shp2img" and say i=
f you
have map server installed in a way that you can use it. How is
that "way"? <br>
<br>
Currently I got your example working along with some others I
found. However, I'm now trying to add my own stuff and it's not
working. We use arcGIS for our mapping and can't seem to get the
files to show up on ka map (it's terribly annoying having to empty the
cache directory so that's why I wanted that utility). This is the
case with both our aerials and shape files???<br>
<br>
Basically I took your example map file and changed it's name and
referenced our tiff exported from our mapping software along with our
shape files instead of the examples (and changed ka maps config file to
include it and that seems to work as it's an options). At first
we thought our projections were off and that could be the problem, but
we changed them to fit the example's projection type and still nothing
shows up. Furthermore I'm not getting any errors that let me know
what the issue is (I get the <span class=3D"standard"><span style=3D"color:=
rgb(255, 0, 0);">"PHP Fatal error</span>:
