[mapserver-users] Cannot get my layer to render via WMS...

Hi,

There is something odd here but I really can't figure out what. One thing is that you do not need EXTENT at LAYER level as you do now. I wonder if it is related to that GetCapabilities gives odd extents to the layer "test" as can be seen:

     <Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" cascaded="0">
> >         <Name>test</Name>
> >         <Title>TestLayer</Title>

> > maxx="3.40282e+038" maxy="3.40282e+038" />

Strange extents for EPSG:4326 projection, aren't they? What is "geog" used in the DATA line doing?

 DATA "geog FROM test USING SRID=4326 USING UNIQUE gid"
