[mapserver-users] Re: Getting blank tiles in google maps

Doesn't look like you have SRS on the shapefiles.

ogrinfo info shows you what you need to know about the shapefiles:

ogrinfo -so -al HampshireLines.shp
ogrinfo -so -al HampshirePoints.shp
ogrinfo -so -al HampshireAreas.shp
All three currently have:
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)

I've had good luck using ogr2ogr to add SRS. For example to add EPSG:4326
(What google uses)
ogr2ogr -a_srs EPSG:4326 HampshireAreas2 HampshireAreas.shp
ogr2ogr -a_srs EPSG:4326 HampshirePoints2 HampshirePoints.shp
ogr2ogr -a_srs EPSG:4326 HampshireLines2 HampshireLines.shp

Ends up with:
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS_84",6378137,298.257223563]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]

Hope that helps.
