[Mapserver-users] scale is not correct

[Pericles Nacionales]

It looks like your map is in geographic projection.  You'll have to
reproject your data to some other grid-based projection if you want your
scale rendered properly. Here are some of the projections you might want
to have a look at:

You'll need the proj library support to reproject your map on the fly, or
you can reproject your data using GIS tools and use that reprojected data
in MapServer.

Good luck!
