[mapserver-users] Place names...?

[Chris Green]

Hi all

 

Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question, but I can't
find a way to make Map Server  v5.0 display place names. I have created a
shape file with points for towns and cities, each of which has a label. If I
check this layer with Quantum GIS (which I used to create the points) I can
display both the points and the labels showing town and city names. However
when I define this layer in the mapfile with type 'point' MapServer gives me
a display of the points but not the labels.  If I define it as type
'annotation' I don't see either points or labels. I feel sure I am missing
something obvious but after quite a few hours I am stuck.  Can anyone
suggest what I am doing wrong?
