mapserver with postgis

[Fawcett, David]

Agustina, 
 
Multipolygon is not a valid layer type in MapServer.  Take a look at the mapfile reference document.  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer
 
In the LAYER section, look at TYPE.  I am guessing that you might want to try POLYGON.  
 
TYPE [point|line|polygon|circle|annotation|raster|query]

	I have installed Mapserver and Postgis in Fedora Core 4. 
	 
	My .map file has the following lines:
	 
	 
	LAYER 
	CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
	NAME "test"
	CONNECTION "user=xxx password=xxx dbname=XX host=localhost port=5432"
	DATA "the_geom from argentina"
	TYPE MULTIPOLYGON
	END 
	END 
	 
	 
	But when I try to use mapserver the  web server (apache) gives me the following error:
	 
	getSymbol():Symbol definition error. (MULTIPOLYGON)
	 
	The .map file is called by using the following link in the web browser:
	 
	http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/test.map&mode=map
	 
	I have tried with other source data (sql table) and other symbols like MULTILINESTRING, etc. but I always receive the same error.
	 
	What am I doing wrong?
	 
	Thanks!
	Agustina
