Re: Projection help

Next time you can prevent this grief by following the "Important Points" 
in the projections doc, when dealing with input & output projections, 
and extents: 
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/projection.html#important-notes  I often 
use these concepts for debugging issues like this.
