[postgis-users] data in mapserver

[Ethan Alpert]

The top 4 reasons a layer doesn't show up are:
 
You don't have STATUS set to DEFAULT or if you have STATUS set to ON you
are not providing layers= in the your URL
You have the wrong projection
You have the wrong extents 
You are rendering at a scale that is not within your MINSCALE/MAXSCALE

	I'm not sure if this is the correct listing to post to, but I
thought I'd give it a try. I am trying to load a layer from postgis into
mapserver. I believe I finally got the connection working correctly, but
when I run the .map through mapserver the layer does not show up. I then
tried to run the .map file through shp2img and the layer did not show
up. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and am sure it has to do more
with my lack of experience with mapserver than postgis. Below is the
layer code from my .map file.

	 

	LAYER

	     NAME "principal"

	     GROUP "roads"

	     CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS

	     CONNECTION "dbname=dcmms user=postgres password=w0rk1n
host=map.rapidresponder.com port=5432"

	     DATA "wkb_geometry from wacounties"

	     STATUS on

	     TYPE line

	     LABELCACHE on

	     LABELITEM "county_nm"

	     CLASSITEM "ecy_region"

	     MAXSCALE 4000000

	     MINSCALE 80001

	     CLASS

	          NAME "Principal Hwy"

	          EXPRESSION /Principal Highway*/

	          STYLE

	               SYMBOL "BigLine"

	               SIZE 3

	               COLOR 171 158 137

	          END

	          OVERLAYSYMBOL "DashedLine"

	          OVERLAYSIZE 1

	          OVERLAYCOLOR 255 255 255

	#         TEXT ([FEATURE],[NAME])

	          LABEL

	               TYPE truetype

	               FONT "arial"

	               MINFEATURESIZE 50

	               MINDISTANCE 100

	               ANGLE auto

	               COLOR 0 0 0

	               SIZE 8

	          END

	     END

	END

	 

	Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
