[mapserver-users] Trouble connecting to PostGIS

[Jeff McKenna]

I'd use Brent's advice of always specifying a projection when loading 
the data into PG.  Then make sure your DATA statement uses that SRID:

   DATA "the_geom from test using SRID=4326 using unique id"

   or

   DATA "the_geom from test using SRID=-1 using unique id"

I try to document my usual steps at
