What are the minimum layer attributes for supporting labels? Do I need the CLASSITEM attribute, and if so where do I get its value from? I have my *.shp and *.dbf files in the same directory and with the same names. And I can open my *.dbf in open office calc to see the header “name”.

Here was my failed attempt:

  LAYER
     NAME    "landmark"
     DATA    "data/landmark_pt.shp"
     TYPE    POINT
     STATUS  ON
     LABELITEM  "name"
  #  MAXSCALE   100000.0
  #  MINSCALE   0.000001
  #  SYMBOLSCALE   1.0
     CLASS
        STYLE
           COLOR    255 255 0
           SYMBOL   'star'
           SIZE     7
        END
     END
     METADATA
     wms_title      "landmark"
     wms_srs        "EPSG:4283"
     END
  END

I can see my point stars just fine, but they have no labels... help...

Thanks heaps in advance!

Jim
