Hi: In that particular example the states label layer should become:
LAYER # States label layer begins here
NAME states
DATA states_ugl
STATUS OFF
TYPE POLYGON
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
CLASSITEM "CLASS"
LABELITEM "STATE"
CLASS
EXPRESSION 'land'
LABEL
COLOR 132 31 31
OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
SHADOWSIZE 1 1
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT arial-bold
SIZE 12
ANTIALIAS TRUE
POSITION CL
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 200
BUFFER 4
END # end of label
END # end of class
END # States label layer ends here
The reason you might want to use a label style is for something like drawing a
road shield paired with a road number but that’s not necessary in this
particular case. We really do need to update the demo and tutorials for 7.0 and
newer versions. The changes are minor but can be frustrating for a new user.
Please feel free to reach out as often as you need and I’ll do my best to help!

Subject: [mapserver-users] probleme mapserver 5.x tutorial
hello I am really new on mapserver. I started learning through the tutorial but
I am stuck on section 1 example 1-9 which does not appear in my browser:
Annotation Layers have been removed. To obtain same functionality, use a layer
with label->styles and no class->styles. this also applies to section 2 I did
some research but I still do not understand how to do it.
should you change the annotation block or just add a style in label, if you
have some examples and also anything that could help me learn better mapserver.
thank you so much
