Albert,

 

I am pretty sure that this has been pointed out before.  MapServer does not use the ESRI .prj files. 

 

You simply need to define projection blocks in your mapfile for both your output projection and for the input projection of each data layer.  To do this of course, you will need to know what projection your data is in. 

 

David.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection questions

Hi,

 Can you put a projection file in a map. Then put regular shp files the layers?  How can you do that?  I am using mapserver 4 on a lunix machine.  I put a projection file in my map file but I only have one of them.  The rest are regular shp files. I cant seem to get the layers show up with my projection file.
Thanks,
Albert
