[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Can you help me with this map file?

Hi there to the list.

I have succeeded in downloading SRTM and Landsat from the GLCF, VMAP Level 0 from the web and processing them in GRASS. I have done the same with Geonet names from NIMA with the help of a pythin script an internet buddy wrote for me.

I am now trying to incorporate the label names into my Mapserver application. Can anyone help? I have a problem with the below MAP file. When I run Mapserver on my PC (standard Windows download version) I receive this message:

loadLayer(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (LAYER):(line 88)

Is the MAP script wrong here? I am a newbie to MAPserver.

For whatever help anyone gives I will be very grateful.

Regards,

Jeremy Stocks.

Here is the script. The problem area is the bold italic section.......

# MapServer map file uses the pound sign (#) to denote the start of a line
# comment--each line that needs to be commented has to be prepended with a "#".
#
# Map files begin with MAP keyword to signify the start of the map object.
# Well, the entire map file is THE map object. Enclosed between MAP and END
# at the very bottom of this map file, are keyword/value pairs and other
# objects.

# Layer objects are defined beneath the map object. You need at least one

# in map.h in the MapServer source. The default limit is set at 100. You'd
# have to have a very specialized application to need more than 100 layers in
