[MAPSERVER-USERS] Getting a vector layer to "fill in" via PostGIS connection

[SUSANNE]

"I would remove comment of #color 255 0 0 and do like this:

....
  CONNECTION "user=user dbname=db host=localhost port=5432 password=pass"                                      
  DATA "the_geom from layer"
  CLASS
    STYLE
        SIZE 20
        OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
         COLOR 255 0 0
         WIDTH 10
    END    # style
 END    # class

Color 255 0 0 is  bright red; if you want to have ligther color you have to
increase both other colors
e.g. 255 100 100 or 255 150 150.
I hope I could help, Susanne Kalliany"
