[Mapserver-users] Extent & Projection for Germany

[Bo Nintzel]

Hello list,
I'am using Mapserver for the first time and I've got problems how to 
fill in the projection and extent for a Shape-File:
My shapefile is named "Ortslage_region.shp" (It's an ESRI-File).
With Shpinfo I get the following Information:

Type         : Polygon
Elements     : 3
Frame        : 3464327.051 / 5528971.218  -  3468422.819 / 5533160.109
Max. Parts   : 2
Max. Points  : 47
Datastructure:
ORTSLAGE C  33.0      Klein-Gerau
GEMSCHL³SS C   6.0      30

This is my map-file:

    "lon_0=0"
    "x_0=500000"
    "no_defs<>"
  #
  # Alternatively, you can specify an EPSG code.
  # "init=epsg:2163"
  #

      "lon_0=0"
      "x_0=500000"
      "no_defs<>"
    END

    CLASS
      COLOR        200 200 200
      OUTLINECOLOR 32 32 32
    END
  END # States polygon layer ends here
  # End of LAYER DEFINITIONS -------------------------------

END # end of map file/object


I just get an emty Image with the Background-Color when I call
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/web/apache2/htdocs/tutorial/test.map&mode=map"

I'am shure the problem is the Projection or the EXTENT or both. Does 
anyone know how to fill in these parts correctly?
