[Mapserver-users] Projection Systems question

Amit -

You didn't say what the problem is.  What is happening (or not
happening) when you try to generate a map from this mapfile?  What is
the URL you're using (i.e. what CGI parameters are you specifying)?

Subject: [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
