So you want you labels to be white?

What color is your background?

Do you have a FONTSET "fonts.txt" that maps arial to a font. I assume you probably do as it is not throwing an error about it.

Also you can get some debug info if you add to the MAP section:

CONFIG MS_ERRORFILE "stderr"
DEBUG 5

Then when you render you map look in the apache error.log file. Or try it with:

shp2img -m mymapfile.map -o image.png

There are lots of other parameters, but that should be enough to get some output.

Hi there,

Ok so I have revised the mapfile to this...

   LAYER
     NAME 'mjcities'
     TYPE POINT
     DUMP false
   EXTENT -143.210462 39.001401 -50.461045 85.911094
     DATA '../data/mjcities.shp'
     METADATA
       'ows_title' 'mjcities'
     END
     STATUS default
  MAXSCALEDENOM 1000000
     TRANSPARENCY 100
     PROJECTION
     'proj=longlat'
     'datum=WGS84'
     'no_defs'
     END
     CLASS
     NAME 'mjcities'
        STYLE
          SYMBOL "circle"
          SIZE 15.0
          OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
          COLOR 182 109 194
        END
    LABEL
    COLOR 255 255 255
    FONT "arial"
    TYPE truetype
    SIZE 10
    ANGLE 0
    POSITION cc
    FORCE false
    PARTIALS false
    END

But when I zoom into my layers I see the symbols that were created but
the labels still don't show up...any suggestions?

Thanks for the help everyone as I do appreciate it!

Mark
