[Geomoose-users] problem setting up mapbook.xml in 2.6-projection issue

Tue Apr 24 11:24:43 EDT 2012

OK, we got it now!

The latest rendition of my projection file is good.  The negative minX value is only because I have a wide, short screen with Firebug open.  So I corrected the path to the symbol and fontset files, and now a nice green picture of Maine (we're 90% forest after all) appears on screen

Many thanks to everyone for coaching me through this one.  

Bob

It may not call for a symbol set, but it probably INCLUDE "../../geomoose_globals.map"
or similar which does.

It looks like your .map is at /ms4w/apps/maptest/maps/demo/parcels/parcels.map

I'm not certain where you geomoose_globals.map is located or what it references for symbols but try to make sure that everything is at the correct path.  Does changing geomoose_globals.map to ../symbols/symbol.sym

do anything?
