Hello,

I am a beginner with Mapserver.

I set up Ms4w succesfully.
The workshop demo is working fine
I manage to begin the tutorial.

Now I'm trying to use MapInfo exchange files (mif/mid files) with MapInfo,
using OGR.

Since I have no error message, I can say that OGR and mapserver find my mif
file. But I still have an empty map.

Here are my two files :



-->test2.map :

MAP
  IMAGETYPE      PNG
  EXTENT         -97.5 41.619778 -82.122902 49.38562 # Geographic
  SIZE           400 300
  SHAPEPATH      "data"
  IMAGECOLOR     255 255 255

  # Start of LAYER DEFINITIONS ---------------------------------------------
  LAYER # States polygon layer begins here
    NAME         states
           CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "test.mif"
           DATA "test"

    STATUS       DEFAULT
    TYPE         POINT

    CLASS
      COLOR        0 0 0
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    END
  END # States polygon layer ends here
  # End of LAYER DEFINITIONS -------------------------------

END # end of map file/object


---->and my test.mif file:

VERSION 300

COLUMNS 0

POINT 45 -85
