[mapserver-users] Ignoring top level settings

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
Could it be so that OpenLayers inserts extents and projection in the request, and Mapserver gives what it is asked for?  At least in normal WMS usage map level PROJECTION and EXTENT do not have an effect, Mapserver is sending the image in the requested projection, from a requested area.

	I I've discovered that the base layer rendering as jpg was a problem with my openlayers, not mapserver. However, I still can't change my top-level projection or extent. Any help is greatly appreciated.
	 
	Thank you.

		Hello list, 

		It seems as though my top level settings in my mapfile are being ignored. No matter what I put as projection, the output doesn't change (unless it's an invalid projection). Changing the values of EXTENT doesn't change anything either, as my map always starts zoomed out very far. I also have not been able to make my base layer output as anything other than jpg.

		I have a feeling that this is related to an invalid /tmp/ location in the mapfile. I have not been able to write the location of the /tmp/ folder (it's on the root of my c: drive) in a way that mapserver will use it.

		Apart from these things, everything works fine. I've been able to sort of counter-act the projection ignoring by telling mapserver that the layer's projection has lat_0=-49 when in fact, it is in epsg:43204 meaning lat_0=49.

		I've attached my mapfile. 

		Thanks in advance,
