[Mapserver-users] easy question

[Steve Lime]

Are you explicity requesting the testpoint layer? If using the CGI all
layers are off unless declared as DEFAULT or explicitly requested (i.e.
layer=testpoint). Also, you need a symbol to use a class size, otherwise
all you'll get is a single green pixel. Try adding:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'circle'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED TRUE
END

to the map file and add:

SYMBOL 'circle'

to the testpoint class definition.
