Hi Jeff, thanks for your reply. - I indeed used the ogrinfo utility and I gave me the extent in GCS_GGRS_1987.

Re: [mapserver-users] Σχετ: Σχετ: Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hi Stefanos, thanks for the mapfile. Here are some points I would check: - you habe MAP two times in your file (might be ok, though) - you don't have a projecten defined In which projection are your data? The white color you see in your browser come from the IMAGECOLOR. So MapServer is actually creating a image without objects rendered. I would enable the debugging to check in the logfile whether MapServer is getting any data out of your data source. If this is not the case than you need to check your GetMap request if the srs and bbox is matching your data source projection. You also defined the EXTENT with -5.00 0.00 0.00 5.00. Is this the correct extent of your source data? Lars with the help of Jörg :) On 10.02.2014 17:10, Stefanos Anastasiou wrote: Yeah sorry... I guess you're right.
