 Hi,

 I'm creating an example configuration for MapProxy for the LiveDVD and I
 found out that the Itasca Demo from Mapserver is not configured properly.
 I get the following error if I make WMS requests:

 <!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM
 "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd">
 <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
 <ServiceException code="InvalidSRS">
 msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Cannot set new SRS on a map
  that doesn't have any projection set. Please make sure your mapfile
  has a projection defined at the top level.
 </ServiceException>
 </ServiceExceptionReport>

 It also doesn't work in uDig for example. It works fine if I uncomment the
 PROJECTION part in the itasca.map file. Can someone update the example for
 the next LiveDVD release? (and add a author/maintainer comment to the
 install_mapserver.sh :)


 Regards,
 Oliver

 the source of the data is stored in gisvm/trunk/app-
 data/mapserver/workshop/mapserver-itasca-ms60.zip

 so to fix it we can just unzip, edit, and rezip that.


 here is a possible patch, what do you think?

 n.b. the proj4 "+north" term doesn't exist/is a no-op, only utm "+south"
 counts.
 I assume the "OR" was comments not code. I don't know if it matters, but
 also note the specified proj terms do not set the datum (NAD83) while the
 EPSG version does.
