Hi Guys,

I was determined to get this running without asking for assistance, but as I
fall deeper into a realm of despair I find myself requiring the help of
people who know what they are doing.

I have setup MapServer on a CentOS box and I need it to only act as a WFS
server only. I have a spatial table in a MySQL db that has the information
required.

When I run ogrinfo -al on the test.ovf file with my db connection in it, it
returns the data (successfully?) Here is an example;

OGRFeature(blah):462
  ASTEXT(geometry) (String) = POINT(151.20387911797 -33.874637911661)

But, when I try to access it through the GetFeature service, I get bugger all.

<gml:null>missing</gml:null>

This is the content of my map file;

                        END
        END
END
END

The EXTENT is only for testing. The epsg used is for Australia.

I'd love any assistance as its starting to send me nuts.
