geographic coordinates don't work

[Ethan Alpert]

Maybe the formatting didn't work when you pasted but it looks like your
PROJECTION block for you map has it's END commented out.

You may also what to add:

UNITS DD 

Where you have EXTENT.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] geographic coordinates don't work


I would like to use geographic coordinates for my main window. My only 
layer is georeferenced DRG which uses the UTM projection.   It doesn't 
work.  If I change it and the extents to UTM it does.  How can I use 
geographic coordinates?  I have also noticed that my map file won't work

with the layer status "on".  It has to be "default"
Here is most of my map file.:
