How do you get transparent background in a layer with UMN mapserver?

I want to include different sources of maps in a mapclient. One source I provide myself with a self-written mapfile rendered by an UMN-mapserver.

Mapserver ignores my template-file for GetFeatureInfo-requests

I want my mapfile to support the GetFeatureInfo-request for some layers. I added the following line to the layer: TEMPLATE "change-template.txt" And the fileitself looks like follows (only for testing-purposes until now): # MapServer Template [version] test123 If I make my GetFeatureInfo-request, I get the following output: GetF...
