[Mapserver-users] GIS Student needs help

Fri Mar 14 21:16:55 PST 2003

George,

Looks like your EXTENT isn't quite right.  It should be "minx miny maxx 
maxy" and you have "minx maxy maxx miny."  So instead of "EXTENT -127.92 
49.47 -77.05 23.66" try "EXTENT -127.92 23.66 -77.05 49.47"

Also, put the line "UNITS DD" somewhere in the map object, like right 
after your EXTENT line (your shapefile *is* unprojected (lat/lon), right?).

You should also set up the WEB object.  Fill in the IMAGEPATH and 
IMAGEURL with the correct paths to the writeable temp directory.  You 
may also need to set up the HEADER and FOOTER in the WEB object, 
depending on what you're trying to do.

See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html for more 
info on mapfile syntax.

So, try this (make sure to enter correct paths under the WEB object):

#************single.map*****************
NAME TEST
STATUS ON
EXTENT -127.92 23.66 -77.05 49.47
UNITS DD
SIZE 400 300
SHAPEPATH "data"

WEB
   IMAGEPATH "E:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\temp\" 

   IMAGEURL "/temp/"
END

LAYER
   NAME "states"
   DATA states
   STATUS DEFAULT
   TYPE POLYGON
   CLASS
     COLOR 220 220 220
     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
   END
END

END
#***************************************
