Another thing to get familiar with is the contents of the Map file.<br><br>I'ts not as simple as substituting the path to a shapefile, you must also adjust the extents in your map file to match your project area extent, and the extents must be in your desired projected coordinates. <br>
<br>Projections must also be specified in the map file for any WMS resources you want to connect with.<br><br>Mapserver map file documentation is pretty good:<br><a href="http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/">http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/</a><br>

things seem pretty straightforward to alter, yet on anything but the demo, GM is quite borked. I keep thinking I'm missing something fundamentally obvious that I'm just too ignorant to know is obvious...<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've got GeoMoose installed on a Windows Server 2008 testbed and the demo working. But every attempt at actually getting my own data in or changing the projection results in a
pink screen. I think I've got the mapbook.xml figured out (though sometimes how GeoMoose handles extent units confuses me) and I'm starting to get a grasp of how things are working, but I just can't get it to work! I think if I get some success on any one
issue, the rest of the problems will solve themselves, but I'm having trouble getting to that first success. I know my way around GIS, but this is my first attempt at web-delivered data.<u></u><u></u></p>
