[mapserver-users] Polyline problem

[Vinko Vrsalovic B.]

Hi again.

I'm having a problem with polyline shapes.

mapserv says: 

msDrawShapefileLayer(): General error message. POLYGON layers must be 
POLYGON shapefiles. 

As you can see in the map file, the layer is declared as POLYLINE not
a POLYGON, so I don't understand why it doesn't work as expected.

The shape is a polyline made with ArcView. If I change the layer to be a
LINE, mapserv displays a dot, unzoomable.

Here's my map file:
