[mapserver-users] WMS layer is not shown in right projection

Fri Sep 19 08:17:05 EDT 2008

Althought it would be more appropriate to ask this on openlayers user
list, I can give you few clues :

All WMS layers are requested in the map's projection definition.
In your case, as the map seems to be 4326, your wms layers must be able
to send its output in that resolution.
If you want to use 31468, set this code for the map resolution, declare
it in your wms layer metadata 'wms_srs' attribute, and it should be fine.

Regards,

Guillaume
