internal server error 500

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

the bug report is a Chameleon bug report. Are you using Chameleon?

Can you run ogrinfo on your shapefile? Maybe it is a 3D shapefile which
Mapserver might crash on. Which Mapserver version are you using?

Is your shapefile in lat/lon (WGS84)? Check the extent of your map file
with the extent of your shapefile (can also be done using ogrinfo). First
start simple without PROJECTION definitions.

Best regards,
Bart
