No the label block goes into your original class block.

You want to create a class in your layer and place it there.  

 

http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html

 

Like this:

 

MAP

LAYER

CLASS

LABEL

END # end of label

END # end of class

 

END  #end of layer

 

END #end of map

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.

 

David.

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
