Albert,

For each layer it's important to tell mapserver which projection your data is stored in. In your case:

LAYER
...
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:26914"
END #PROJECTION
END #LAYER

The epsg code 26914 represents "NAD83 / UTM zone 14N". I think that's what you're looking for.

Hi,

I was using a projection file UTM Zone 14n Nad_83. Then I switch to an unprojective file and I saw my data show up. What would be the first best step for setting a projection file?

Thanks
Albert

    You may want to take a look at your extent.
    Do you really intend to show a primarily empty stretch of the
    northern Atlantic Ocean (apologies to Canary Islanders...)?
    You are telling MapServer that your map area is contained within a
    box from 50 deg. west longitude to 10 deg. west longitude and 20
    to 90 degrees north latitude. If the name of your mapfile relates
    to the data, I am guessing that Richland County isn't in this box.
    Use ogrinfo or a desktop GIS app to look at the extent of your
    data. Also, the extent needs to be in the units of the spatial
    reference system that your data is in.

        Hi,

        I am making my own map file. It looks all right but when I
        click the button it doesnt show an image or any kind of errors.

        Here is my map code.
        #This is Richland County Map Server
        NAME "Richland"
        SIZE 100 100
        IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
        IMAGETYPE JPEG
        SHAPEPATH "/home/mapdata/"
        EXTENT -50.00 20.00 -10.00 90.00
        WEB
        TEMPLATE '/var/www/htdocs/richland.html'
        IMAGEPATH '/var/www/htdocs/tmp'
        IMAGEURL '/tmp/'
        END
        LAYER
        NAME "Richland"
        STATUS default
        TYPE polygon
        DATA "RICH_bndy"
        CLASS
        STYLE
        COLOR 0 0 0
        END
        END
        END
        END

        here is my html code
        <html>
        <head><title>Richland County MapServer</title></head>
        <body>
        <form method=post action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
        <input type="submit" value="Click Me"
        <input type="hidden" name="map"
        value="/home/mapdata/richland.map">
        <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
        value="/var/www/htdocs/tmp/">

        </form>
        <table border="1" width="400" height="400">
        <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="top">
        <IMG SRC="[img]" width="400" height="400" border="1">
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        </body>
        </html>

        I really dont know whats could be wrong. Maybe the extent of
        it? Can anyone help me?

        Thanks,
        Albert
