[mapserver-users] help: load a static map

[marco.sileri at virgilio.it]

Hi
I'm a student and I’m starting my first application of MapServer 
with my own data following the tutorial and I already have the 
following problem.

I have a very simple  shape data  in 
geographic/WGS84 and also UTM/WGS84 format; I have picked the extension 
using ARCGIS and I have tried a static visualization of my map as it is 
shown in the first example of the tutorial.

     END
    END
  END # States polygon layer ends here


I 
have tried the following things:
- load my data  using the geographic 
coordinates (and corresponding extension);
- load my data using  the 
UTM/WGS84 coordinates (and corresponding extension);
- read the data 
through  the html-page or entering the URL  (http://localhost/cgi-
bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/marco/htdocs/example1-1.
map&layer=states&mode=map)

I always don’t have any error, but I only 
see the window in which the data should be visualised. 

It’s looks 
like the extension is wrong, but  I have checked my shape with ArcGis 
and also with Ogrinfo ….

What can 
be wrong and what other  can be done to solve the problem?

Can 
anybody, please, help me?
