WMS projection error...

[John Cole]

Nikos,
  I had set a PROJ_LIB system environment variable already, but looking at
it in the command prompt, I noticed it was set to the QGIS directory (not
the ms4w directory I had set it).  Sure enough, there was a local PROJ_LIB
value that the QGIS install had set.  I deleted that one but had to reboot
(restarting IIS didn't work) to get mapserver to pick up the changes.  Now
it's working.

Thanks,

John COle

Hi,

You can also set an environment variable PROJ_LIB, and ms seems to 
figure it out..;-)
