Fiddling with projection-on-the-fly today. Working w/ the 3.5 CGI versions
of MapServer, on Win2K, with IIS. When I try to load a mapfile with a
projection specified, I get the following error (map file below):
msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. major axis or radius = 0 or
not given
I'm totally confused by what's in (or not in) the documentation.
1) Do I need to have some local file (like a library) defining projections
somewhere? Where does it go? Do I need to do something different if using
MapScript?
2) What extent do I define in my header: the extent of the map projection,
or the extent of my layer.
3) Why am I getting this error?
TIA!
