If you change the project in the MAP section of the mapfile you also
need to change the UNITS and EXTENT to be consistent with the projection
units.
You current mapfile has proj=longlat which should have UNITS DD (for
decimal degrees) and you EXTENT is consistent with that.

Hi all,
I'm a new user to mapserver and having some issues with the mapfile that
I have created from QGIS.
Basically I am trying to create a map of Canada with major cities,
highways, expressways, province names. The map outputs fine but when I
change anything in the mapfile it doesnt work. I need to change the
projection to a Lambert Conformal Conic, be able to display the highways
if the layer is visible, the highways being only visible if zoomed in
past 1:2500000, provinces labeled with the calibri font. For the major
cities, I want to use a S3 symbol (green star) found in a symbol folder
where all of the data is located while using the symbols.sty style sheet
while only visible past 1:2500000 and labeled when zoomed in past
1:1000000. When I click any of the checkboxes that I created to help
zoom in or out they work fine but when I click any of the checkboxes for
the cities, provinces, roads etc it doesnt load.
Here is my mapfile in green so I can seperate the text better.

As mentioned before I am fairly new at this (but want to learn the
process) but not sure what to do as everytime I change something the map
doesnt display correctly! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
