<div>There are two places where you set projections on a typical GeoMoose site.</div><div><br></div><div>1) For GeoMoose: This effects the display projection. Your data services need to be able to output in the display projection. The initial_extent, max_extent, and scales are all relative to this projection. Also note, the initial extent cannot be honored exactly because needs to fit with both the display aspect ratio and an available scale. The scales are a fixed set by default because that is what tiled datasets (eg. Google, Yahoo, OSM, etc.) require.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) For MapServer: MapServer needs to know how to transform your data into the output projection (for use by GeoMoose or other WMS clients). Thus, in the mapfiles, you need to tell it your source projection and the allowed output projections.</div>
<div><br></div>Also, keep in mind that if you change projections in the mapbook from the pseudo standard Web-Mercator projection, you can't expect the "standard" tilesets to work. Of course, if you desire you can build your own tileset(s) for whatever extent/projecting/scales you are using, but I wouldn't recommend messing with this starting out. For GeoMoose to request the right tile and put it in the right place, it needs to agree with the tileset exactly on scales, max extent, and projection. If these don't match, you may end up with GeoMoose requesting tiles that don't exist which will likely result in a pink screen.<div>
<br></div><div>WMS layers should work so long as the WMS server supports the projection you are using. For MapServer, this means the wms_srs (or more generally the ows_srs) metadata (in WEB) needs to include that projection (and the data projection needs to be set either globally for the mapfile or in the individual layers in the mapfile).</div>

When testing/starting with 2.6 I found it best to add a layer or two of my own to the demo. Then add an extent for your data set in the zoomto section of the mapbook.xml file. That way you can bring up the demo and zoom to your area to see how your stuff looks. Many of the background layers are world-wide so you can also see other layers (yahoo, google, etc.) as well. That way your not taking too much on right away. <div>

<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>
