raster reprojection question

Deb -

First, make sure your MapServer is built with PROJ support, by running
"mapserv -v" from a command line and looking for SUPPORTS=PROJ in the
output.  If so, then we'll assume for the moment that you got PROJ
installed correctly as you installed MapServer (that might not be true).

Your .map file needs to advertise the EPSG projections your WMS is
willing to advertise and support.  Did you read the "WMS Servers with
MapServer" page at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server
and follow the instructions?  Make sure you do so, and then use a
"Request=GetCapabilities" call to your MapServer WMS server to make sure
you're advertising what you expect.

If you're still having trouble, please post your .map file and the WMS
request you're making against it.  Thanks!

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] raster reprojection question

Hello, 

I've recently downloaded and installed MapServer, and I am trying to use
the WMS to serve raster images stored as .png w/ .pgw.  The image is
displayed fine if I use the same projection in the request that I
specified in the .map file.  If, however, I specify a different
projection in the request, I just get a solid gray rectangle.

I am new to MapServer, so I apologize if this is an ignorant question,
but could someone possibly let me know what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you very much,
Deb
