What's Wrong With This Picture?

[Pagurek, Debbie]

I have a feeling that you might have another problem, because your
Projection is:
  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
  END
which is a Geographic Projection (latitude and longitude), but the
EXTENT you've indicated looks like it's in meters or something other
than Decimal Degrees.

In addition to what Ed said, you probably need to find out what the
projection your data is in.  Then you need to find the corresponding
epsg code.  After you've done that, it is possible to reproject the data
on the fly using other epsg codes.

Barbara -

It looks like you did pretty well!

Your EXTENT line in the map file should be MINX MINY MAXX MAXY - you've
got the two Y values reversed, which means you're asking for nothing
(and getting it <g>).  Try just swapping those two numbers.

My apologies for bothering the list with this, but I'm running out of
time. I'm primarily a programmer with almost no GIS background. Being
the only available entity, I was asked to get MapServer up and running
as a WMS server. Obviously I have no business doing this, but here I am.
I managed to get a Linux server (Debian sarge) up and running, GDAL
compiled with mrsid support, MapServer compiled, and the demo working.
The map file part is beyond my comprehension. The one I put together,
only half of which I actually understands, produces an XML capabilities
document with no warning messages. However, GetMap gives me a blank png
as output. Below are the results of mapserv -v and gdalinfo in case
that's important. Following that is my first attempt at a map file, for
your amusement. I don't understand about half of what I have in there.
Any pointers would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
