[Mapserver-users] RE: Error parsing MapInfo TAB file

Solved, with reference to:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/ogr-howto.html#examples so please ignore
previous post.

I shouldn't bother the list with these inanities, I just need to RT*M.

Subject: Error parsing MapInfo TAB file


Hi all,

I'm able to display shape files OK with Mapserver but when I direct it to a
MapInfo TAB file MapServer returns the error:
loadLayer(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (LAYER):(line 28)

The .map file reference looks like this:
	LAYER # MAPINFO TAB TEST
		NAME NATIVE_TITLE
		DATA "Tables (MI)/Native Title/NTDA_Register_QLD.TAB"
		STATUS DEFAULT
		TYPE POLYGON

#		PROJECTION
#			"latlong"
#		END

		CLASS
			COLOR 180 180 180
			OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
		END

I am using the Mapserver 4.0 binary for Windows 2000, the readme for which
says that OGR/GDAL support is compiled in.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

TIA
Yuri Banens
