Hi all, I'm a new user to mapserver and having some issues with the mapfile that I have created from QGIS. Basically I am trying to create a map of Canada with major cities, highways, expressways, province names. The map outputs fine but when I change anything in the mapfile it doesnt work. I need to change the projection to a Lambert Conformal Conic, be able to display the highways if the layer is visible, the highways being only visible if zoomed in past 1:2500000, provinces labeled with the calibri font. For the major cities, I want to use a S3 symbol (green star) found in a symbol folder where all of the data is located while using the symbols.sty style sheet while only visible past 1:2500000 and labeled when zoomed in past 1:1000000. When I click any of the checkboxes that I created to help zoom in or out they work fine but when I click any of the checkboxes for the cities, provinces, roads etc it doesnt load. Here is my mapfile in green so I can seperate the text better. # Map file created from QGIS project file C:/wwwroot/M_Mirrlees_Assign3/markassign3.qgs
