[mapserver-users] Problem with Python Mapscript / Projection(MS4W)

[Fawcett, David]

Have you tried to explicitly set the path to the proj library in the map
file?  

Try adding this to the map object:

CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:/somedir/proj/nad/"

You can find a little more about this in the map file reference.

Hi,

In fact I'm using the MS4W distribution of MapServer, so it runs on
Windows. The EPSG lookup file is there and everything seems fine, but
still this nagging bug persists.. I should add that I tried loading the
exact same mapfile from PHP/Mapscript, and it runs fine. The problem is
specific to Python/Mapscript. Any other idea?

Christian
