Brad,
Did you try epsg 20255 and 20355?

Hi Jérôme
I tried what you said but still no luck, I tried several combinations, like
only for raster, only for polygons, and everything together including
defining in the mapfile. The map still shows but it is still off centre.
I attached the mapfile and a pic of the problem to give you a better idea.
I talked to someone before about this and they said the problem was
something to do with the fact the shapfile data takes into account the
spherical nature of the globe while the raster image does not.
