[mapserver-users] Mapserver 5.4 & SYMBOLSET

[Daniel Morissette]

Are you sure that the file you are editing is really the one used by 
your mapfile? That's a common mistake... to verify that, try inserting 
an invalid keyword in place of the SYMBOLSET keyword in your file and 
verify that MapServer produces a parser error about it. If it doesn't 
then it's probably not using the file you think it is.
