[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with Projected Map

[Bill Thoen]

I've made a map from a combined set of MapServer layers (two vector 
layers and a raster one) and the output projection is UTM Zone 14 WGS 84 
(epsg:32614). When I create the map object like this:
         var mapOptions = {
            maxResolution: 'auto', controls: []
         };
         map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map', mapOptions );

it displays the map correctly, but the underlying coordinates are flat 
Lat/Long, and they're only correct at the center, which I set 
explicitly, and they're  increasingly incorrect the further you go from 
the center. What I want are the correct projected coordinates. So then I 
try the following:

  var mapOptions = {
    maxResolution: 'auto', controls: [],
    maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-1782043.9 2240752.7 3256506.0 
6482565.5),
    projection: "EPSG:32614", units: "m"
  };
  map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map', mapOptions );

but this time the map fails to display at all. None of the controls show 
either, so I think this is wedging the script.

My map layer call looks like this:
  var lyr_base = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer(
   "North America", "http://MyDomain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?",
    {
      map_imagetype: 'AGG',
      layer: 'NA',
      map: '/var/www/html/piper/ol_usa.map'
    }, { singleTile: true });


The output from MapServer is correctly projected, but OL isn't treating 
it as  projected. I don't think it should matter, but note that this is 
a MapServer layer and not a WMS layer.

Does anyone know why this isn't working?
