[ka-Map-users] imageformat

[Paul Spencer]

It should be "JPEG" (with the E) but I hope this is just a typo since  
PNG24 didn't work either.  The way that code works is that it ends up  
calling setOutputFormat in config.php with the format type and sets up  
a bunch of variables that are used when rendering in tile.php.  I know  
that true colour output works (jpeg and png24) so I'm sure it is not a  
problem with the code but rather some sort of configuration issue.  If  
MapServer is choosing png8 then that is probably the default output  
format for MapServer and something.

Some things to check.  Make sure you have JPEG and PNG24 support in  
mapserv/php_mapscript by checking the MapScript section of the output  
of phpinfo() ...

<?php
dl('php_mapscript.so'); //replace with whatever will load mapscript
phpinfo();
?>

Confirm that you can get mapserv to output a jpeg or png24 using  
shp2img.
