[OpenLayers-Users] WFS connection

[David William Bitner]

Richie,

Are you using Mapserver and ArcIMS for different layers in OpenLayers?  You
need to make sure that everything that you use is spitting out the data in
26915.  If you are using MapServer for some WMS/WFS layers, you can make
sure to include your projection information in your mapfile and make sure
that you built MapServer against proj4 (further help specific to MapServer
can be found at #mapserver on irc, the mapserver-users mailing list, or in
the documentation at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu).
