[Proj] msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system list, errno: 13

[Adrian Popa]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to troubleshoot a proj error, and I need your help! I have 
started this thread also on the mapserver mailing list, but I didn't 
find a solution yet: 
http://n2.nabble.com/msProcessProjection-Projection-library-error-no-system-list-errno-13-td3807641.html

I'm running mapserver, and I'm trying to configure it to act as a WMS 
server. My data is in wgs84 (epsg:4326) and I want to project it to 
mercator projection (epsg:900913).

I have configured the mapfile and the projections according to the 
Mapserver documentation and they work as long as the projection sections 
are defined like:
PROJECTION
    #spherical mercator/google
     "+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs"
END

and

PROJECTION
    #WGS84
    "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"
END

If I ask for EPSG projections (through WMS), I get the error in the subject.
Here is my WMS url:

http://terra/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/map/rtc_base.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=GranitaJudete&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:900913


I have tried to debug the problem by using shp2img, and it seems that 
mapserver tries to open /usr/share/proj/null as a file. I created a 
symlink between /usr/share/proj/epsg and /usr/share/proj/null, and now 
shp2img reads the file, but I get the same error while trying to call 
the WMS server.

My question is: how can I try to troubleshoot this issue - to see if 
there's a problem with proj?

I'd like to mention that I have added <900913> +proj=merc +a=6378137 
+b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m 
+nadgrids=@null <mailto:+nadgrids=@null> +no_defs to my epsg file and my 
proj version is:
[adrianp at terra mapserver]$ rpm -qa | grep proj
proj-devel-4.5.0-1.fc5
proj-4.5.0-1.fc5

Regards,
Adrian
