I did get my service to work, after a lot of help. The problem now is that I have one area that is showing up as no-data and while I have the data in the directory, I can't figure out why this one area is showing up as totally black in my preview and when I make a service
a service I made is here: add the service in arccatalog: meridian.forestry.oregonstate.edu/Arcgis/Services/willamette
the service is called will_be and the error is in the lower right (east) part of the where there is an elbow of sorts...
it shows up pretty well on the will_shade service (only part that is flat in the mountains...)
