A few questions for you. Regarding #1 Were all of your shapes in the same projection as the Itasca demo? If not, their coordinates may have been far outside of the extents of the map.
Regarding #2 Do you have 300 shapefiles, meaning you have 300 layers you wish to display? If so, you might want to take a look at an alternate solution than the Itasca demo. For example (toots own horn) GeoMOOSE is designed to allow multiple mapfiles to be used within a single application. It makes the management of the large number of layers much more palatable. We also have a number of users that are at the same level of layer management as you are and could give more suggestions on how to best manage that data for use in a Web GIS. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Monali Lodha <monalilo...@gmail.com> > To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > Sent: Tue, November 3, 2009 8:14:38 AM > Subject: [mapserver-users] Starting with TIGER Line Data and MapServer > > Hi, > > We are working on displaying the TIGER Data using MapServer. > This is our first time with MapServer, and we would appreciate your > help in the following areas: > 1.
