please - please - can anybody shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

[Ethan Alpert]

In addition to Steve's suggestion does the calif_so_st shapefile have a
.prj file? What are the bounds of the snapefile (shpdump)? Do the bounds
fail within the extent you've specified?

Group,

Here I am again:

I have this link:

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/ht
docs
/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map

and this map file

MAP
  NAME TESTMAP
  STATUS ON
  EXTENT  -1375383.89811082 -7278971.22201064 16216802.1381132

  IMAGETYPE PNG

  SHAPEPATH "data"
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

  WEB
    METADATA
      "key1" "value1"
      "key2" "value2"
      "key3" "value3"
      "key4" "value4"
    END
  END

  LAYER
    NAME "calif_co_st"
    TYPE POLYGON
    DATA "calif_co_st"
    STATUS DEFAULT
  END

END

I still getting nothing but this on my map ( right-click properties ):

The image
"http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/h
tdoc
s/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map" cannot be
displayed, because it contains errors.

And yet - when I move the tests directory into my http tree like this

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/ht
docs
/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/tests/test.map&mode=map

I get what the mapserver tests are supposed to give - is there something
about my shape files I should know about?

Please - anything at all would be helpful.
