Thanks for the help but I'm still having difficulty! could someone send me a revised map file to show me what needs to be changed as I'm still a bit confused on where the changes
need to be made on the map file! This way it will help me learning the process more!
Thanks

If you change the project in the MAP section of the mapfile you also
need to change the UNITS and EXTENT to be consistent with the projection
units.
You current mapfile has proj=longlat which should have UNITS DD (for
decimal degrees) and you EXTENT is consistent with that.
