[Mapserver-users] Projection Systems question

Hi all,

I am having the following problem. I have a shapefile with the data in
projection system 1983_UTM_Zone_11N. I am trying to set up a layer in
mapserver using this shape file. I took the example1.map file in the
tutorial and made changes to it. The salient ones being

changing the extent to the correct coordinates (found via ArcView)
changing the projection to init epsg: 26911 (for UTM Zone 11 N) and
changing the name and data setting for layer.
I also changed the type to point and set minsize to be 20.

I am also appending the mapfile. Can some
one tell me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance
