Mark,

You need to change

UNITS DD
to
UNITS METERS

and you need to change

EXTENT -143 39 -50 85
to
EXTENT ...

where ... is the longlat coordinates above converted to their equivalent values in LCC

On linux you might from cs2cs command helpful, you might also find some online projection conversion utilities.

Hi all,

when I try to edit my projection to a LCC from a UTM in my mapfile my
map fails to show up when I launch my mapserver link.

Here is the first part of the mapfile...

BEFORE:

MAP
   NAME "QGIS-MAP"
   # Map image size
   SIZE 500 500
   UNITS meters
   EXTENT -143 39 -50 85
   FONTSET "/wwwroot/fonts/fontset.txt"
   SYMBOLSET "/wwwroot/symbols/symbols.sty"
     PROJECTION
     'proj=longlat'
     'datum=WGS84'
     'no_defs'
   END

AFTER:

MAP
   NAME "QGIS-MAP"
   # Map image size
   SIZE 500 500
   UNITS dd
   EXTENT -143 39 -50 85
   FONTSET "/wwwroot/fonts/fontset.txt"
   SYMBOLSET "/wwwroot/symbols/symbols.sty"
   PROJECTION
  "proj=lcc"
  "ellps=GRS80"
  "lat_0=49"
  "lon_0=-95"
  "lat_1=49"
  "lat_2=77"
  "datum=NAD83"
  "units=m"
  "no_defs"
   END

I'm not sure how to fix this...any suggestions? As i'm still fairly new
at this.
Mark
