[Lars Lingner]

Hi Stefanos,

thanks for the mapfile.

Here are some points I would check:

- you habe MAP two times in your file (might be ok, though)
- you don't have a projecten defined
In which projection are your data?

The white color you "see" in your browser come from the IMAGECOLOR. So
MapServer is actually creating a image without objects rendered.

I would enable the debugging to check in the logfile whether MapServer
is getting any data out of your data source.
If this is not the case than you need to check your GetMap request if
the srs and bbox is matching your data source projection.

You also defined the EXTENT with  -5.00 0.00 0.00 5.00. Is this the
correct extent of your source data?

Lars with the help of Jörg :)
