If all of your data is in the same projection, you don't need to define projections in your map file.
One exception is that if you are serving the data up as a WMS or WFS, you will need to define MAP and LAYER level projections. You will likely also need to add metadata at the LAYER and MAP? level that includes information about the projection.

Hi all, I have shape files which are in x,y coordinate form (units of meters) and didn't think I needed any projection information because I was dealing with such a small area, thus never defined any PROJECTION info in my map file. Now I am getting the following error: [MapServer Error]: _msProcessAutoProjection(): WMS/WFS AUTO PROJECTION must be in the format 'AUTO:proj_id,units_id,lon0,lat0' (got ''). I gather from the error message that I need to define at least a map level projection entry, but I am not sure what I should use? Any help much appreciated Cheers, Nelson Disclaimer : The contents of this e-mail including any attachments are intended only for the person or entity to which this e-mail is addressed.
