Changing the projection

[rahul singh]

Hi all, 

I am trying to change my map projection from lambert
azimuthal equal area to mercator projection. I tried
to change the value of keyword proj to merc instead of
laea and changed the others keywords like ellps to
WGS84 and lat_0 to 0 
and   lon_0 to 0 but did not see any changes in the
map . i even changed the extents of the shapefile
according to the mercator projection.  I am providing
the part of the code down below in which i made the
changes 

MAP
NAME UMAC
SIZE 630 294
EXTENT -1403269.17 -433382.76 781662.52 577110.16
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
SHAPEPATH "../shape/"
SYMBOLSET "../etc/symbols.sym"
FONTSET "../etc/fonts.txt"

PROJECTION
	"proj=merc"
	"ellps=WGS84"
	"lat_0=0"
	"lon_0=0"
	"x_0=0"
	"y_0=0"


Any suggestions would be  appreciated
