[Mapserver-users] msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. major axis or radius = 0 or not given

[Tom H]

Hi,

I'm trying to set-up mapserver as a Web Map Server (WMS).

At the moment I've got a fairly simple map file like so;
	NAME oz1
	SIZE 400 400
	EXTENT 110 -7 180 -40
	SHAPEPATH "../data"

	LAYER
		NAME australia
		TYPE POLYGON
		STATUS DEFAULT
		DATA australia
		CLASS
			COLOR 0 0 0
			OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
		END
		PROJECTION
			"proj=latlong"
		END

	END
	END
This however causes the error;
"msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. major axis or radius = 0 or not given "

If I comment out "proj=latlong"
	PROJECTION
		#"proj=latlong"
	END
it outputs a map, and there is no error.

I've added a env variable PROJ_LIB ie;
C:\>echo %PROJ_LIB%
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ms\Proj\nad
and my epsg file is in that folder.

and I've checked that the data in the layer is latlong projection. what am I missing?
The wms server config requires that a projection be specified for each layer.

Thanks in advance.

T.
