[Mapserver-users] mapserver 4 - postgis problem

[Stefan Donath]

hi list,

i am trying to view postgis 0.8.1 data with mapserver 4.0 but there is only
a big black page with a little red x in the upper left corner    !!! :-(( !!!

this is the layer section of my map file:

LAYER
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME "owt_orte"
  CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=test2 host=128.xxx.x.x"
  DATA "the_geom from owt_orte"
  STATUS ON
  TYPE POLYGON
  CLASS
      NAME "orte"
      COLOR 255 0 0
  END
END

what's wrong with that (i am totally new with both postgis AND mapserver!!)?
anybody out there with ideas???

thanx, stefan.
