[Mapserver-users] (no subject)

Hi:
	Here is the map file.   I am not sure if it worked before I upgraded
to 4.2b3 (as I didnt find the errorlog until after the upgrade)
If I had to guess I would say that it is looking at the lable information
and trying to decode a symbol out of it but all my lable texts are either
random numbers or some text (i.e. lot numbers and street names) 

I didnt know about a GIS Users Group in Prince George - where can I find
details?  I am going to the Mapserver Usergroup in Ottawa though - will you
be there?

Looks like your symbol definition is wrong.  Can you provide the full map 
file (I know it's looong) so we can see how your symbols are defined and 
what symbol is being used here.  Do you think this is a problem with the 
auto styling?  The symbol being used for that layer appears to be goofy. 
This may also be related to the version of mapserver you are using.  Did 
this work before an upgrade? 

p.s. are you coming down to the Northern BC GIS Users Group in Prince 
George?  If so, I'd love to meet, I'm doing a workshop on MapServer!
