[Mapserver-users] Re: [ms4w-users] Help,How to publish vector maps

[Tyler Mitchell]

Isaac, try a really simple example first.  Then add more layers.

Also it helps to try to use shp2img on the command line with your map file 
first.  That helps isolate whether it's a web server problem or a map file 
problem.

I see some lines in your map file that start with "!" - what is that?
