[mapserver-users] Display GeoTIFF raster data

Is that you're entire mapfile? If so, you seem to be missing some critical
pieces:

First off, you need a WEB segment that tells Mapserver where to put the
images... so something like:

WEB
  TEMPLATE my_template.html
  IMAGEPATH "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
  IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
END

I don't think this is necessary, but it's a good idea to specify the
mapunits in your header section:

UNITS meters

Once this is in place, you should see *something* appear in your /tmp (or
whatever name you set up) directory when MapServer executes. Your image may
not render for some other reason... but at least you should be seeing a
blank PNG or GIF or JPEG or whatever flavor of image you specify show up in
that directory. My hunch is that is NOT happening now.
