Data Plotted at Wrong Location

[Tran, Toan (MCYS)]

Brent,

Thank you for your help. I am new to Map Server...

I have:
PROJECTION 
   "init=epsg:42304"
END

inside both my top-level MAP and LAYER definition.

I try Adding/Changing (Is this what your meant?) inside my Layer
definition... All the points that as plotted before are now gone. 
PROJECTION
 "init=epsg:4269"
END

The proper location is still not plotted.
Something I am doing incorrectly?

Thank you so much for your help.
Toan

Toan,

  You haven't specified the coordinate system of the input
data so MapServer assumes it's the same as the coordinate system for the
output map (LCC).

  Add a PROJECTION object to the csv file's LAYER
definition.  For example, if the input data in the csv file
is NAD83:

LAYER csv
PROJECTION
 "init=epsg:4269"
END

Hi,
I wish to plot several points in Ontario, Canada, but the problem is
that the points are plotted at the wrong location. My data are in
decimal degree stored in a CSV file. But when the map was draw, all the
points are plotted very closed together. I suspect that for some reason,
the map-server is plotting the data as meter/or any other unit instead
of degree decimal. I used this PROJECTION in both my top-level MAP and
proper layer, with UNITS METERS: PROJECTION "init=epsg:42304" END I
added this for the /usr/local/share/proj/epsg file because it wasn't
there after I installed the Projection Library: <42304> +proj=lcc
+lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95
+x_0=0 +y_0=0
+ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs no_defs <>
Is it enough to simple add the above epsg code???
Changing UNITS METERS to UNITS DD in my map file doesn't
help either.
Here are some sample DATA:

Desc,,X,Y
"5",79.725833,43.715361
"6",81.000107,43.368512

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa21",0,240000

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa31",10000,300000

This is what I see when I type ./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.10.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
