[mapserver-users] mapfile: displaying a feature from a shapefile.

Hello,
I installed HostGIS, and used the mapserver example1 as my template. My data
is in an shp file.
The layer with all the tracks (roads) is displaying correctly. What I am
unable to do is display the
road/track names on top.
This is my own shp file, the tracks have several features, one called
"road_name". I have googled,
and read most of the related stuff I could get my hands on, and tried
several 'ways' without luck.
I am pasting my cleaned up mapfile below (in the real file, my extent has
the actual lat/long values).
I would appreciate any help or suggestions on how to display the road name
field. (I am using the Windows
versions of Quantum GIS and GPS TrackMaker to look at those fields in the
shapefile).
Thanks.
