[Qgis-user] Shapefile at wrong coordinates

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Barbara,

it is probably a projection issue.
Check the SRS for both layers on both machine and the SRS for the canvas 
of QGIS. Are they the same on both machines?
If they match, check the definition of the used SRS in the srs.db on both 
machines. 
Are they the same?
You can find srs.db in the resource subdirectory of your qgis 
installation. srs.db is a sqlite database.

Regards,
Zoltan
