[Geomoose-users] Asking technical problem regarding displaying shape file

Amila,

   There are a couple of problems in your map file.  Have a look in your 
mapserver error log (/ms4w/tmp/ms_error.txt?) for details.  I used 
mapserver's shp2img command line program to parse the map file:

shp2img -m kysitesutmrd1.map -o kysitesutmrd1.png
getDouble(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (,):(line 5) <br>

so i made the following changes:

# Use spaces instead of commas:
#    EXTENT 8887274.859924,787036.529767,9096903.423788,852344.927174
     EXTENT  8887274.859924 787036.529767 9096903.423788 852344.927174

and EXTENT expects X Y X Y; these look more like Y X Y X so you may need 
to swap the values.  I had a look at the shapefile using GDAL's ogrinfo:

ogrinfo -so  KYsitesUTMRD.shp KYsitesUTMRD
INFO: Open of `KYsitesUTMRD.shp'
       using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: KYsitesUTMRD
Geometry: Point
Feature Count: 92
Extent: (456029.823976, 801937.311301) - (467996.155898, 808358.268919)
:

so I used
EXTENT 456029 801937 467996 808358

And another problem in the LAYER:
loadLayer(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near 
(CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER):(line 61) <br>:

# Use PROCESSING directive:
#        CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER
         PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"

and you'll likely need a PROJECTION block for your LAYER definition if 
the data is stored in the database in EPSG:4326

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
