[Mapserver-users] Projection and/or Extent problem

[Dylan Keon]

The LAYER projection definition looks incomplete, for one thing.  If 
you're working with just a single layer the projection definitions 
aren't really necessary - try commenting out all of the projection 
definitions (both in the MAP block and the LAYER block) and see if that 
makes a difference.

It could also be an EXTENT problem, but try the projection stuff first.
