[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer Spatial Extent

[Ryan Ollerenshaw]

I have a shapfile of the continents thats current longitude extent is 
from -180 to 180 and i need the extent to be from 0 to 360.  I was able 
to change the projection in ArcCatalog and display the map there with 
the changed extent but when i copied this shapfile back to my MapServer, 
MapServer still displayed the shapfile from -180 to 180.  and you can 
see that in the extent of the shapefile when ogrinfo is ran on it.  but 
you can also see the projection information that ArcCatalog added that 
says there should be a false easting of -180 to correct for this.  So 
does anyone know why MapServer is still displaying the layer with an 
extent from -180 to 180?  I am using ESPG:4326 as my projection.
