Mark,

 
You will want to add a LABEL block to your mapfile. 
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html
 
I would also comment out the maxscale until you get the labels working.

Hi all,

 

Ok so now I have a new problem with the labeling.

 

I would like to get my labels to start showing up at a scale of 1:1000000 but nothing is working...

 

here is a snippet of my mapfile...

 

  LAYER

    NAME 'mjcities'

    TYPE POINT

    DUMP false

  EXTENT -143.210462 39.001401 -50.461045 85.911094

    DATA '../data/mjcities.shp'

    METADATA

      'ows_title' 'mjcities'

    END

    STATUS default

 MAXSCALE 1000000

 TRANSPARENCY 100

 CLASSITEM 'NAME'

  LABELITEM 'NAME'

 PROJECTION

    'proj=longlat'

    'datum=WGS84'

    'no_defs'

    END

    CLASS

    NAME 'mjcities' 


       STYLE

         SYMBOL "circle" 


         SIZE 15.0 


         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

         COLOR 182 109 194

       END

 

Thanks,

Mark
