[mapserver-users] Projection errors

[Daniel Morissette]

You are likely getting this because your 'epsg' file does not contain
the 42103 projection definition.  This code (42103) is not part of the
epsg standard, so you'll have to add a PROJ4 definition for it to your
epsg file.  On Unix it should be in /usr/local/share/proj/epsg and on
Windows either in C:\PROJ or C:\PROJ\NAD

Here is the definition in WKT format for projection 42103 that I got
from Cubewerx a little while ago, converting it to PROJ4 format
shouldn't be too hard:

EPSG:42103,"PROJCS[\"WGS 84 / LCC USA\",GEOGCS[\"WGS 84\",DATUM[\"WGS_1984\",SPHEROID[\"WGS_1978\",6378135,298.26]],PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0],UNIT[\"Decimal_Degree\",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION[\"Lambert_Conformal_Conic\"],PARAMETER[\"central_meridian\",-100.0],PARAMETER[\"latitude_of_origin\",0],PARAMETER[\"standard_parallel_1\",33.0],PARAMETER[\"standard_parallel_2\",45.0],PARAMETER[\"false_easting\",0.0],PARAMETER[\"false_northing\",0.0],UNIT[\"Meter\",1]]"
