I use the following to re-project a shapefile to EPSG 4326 using ogr2ogr:
ogr2ogr -s_srs "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs" -t_srs "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs" /reprojected_location/ /originalfile/file.shp
It works for almost every file I have tried it with except for this one:
It gives no error messages but the output shapefile is empty. Granted, this file is already epsg 4326, but I have tried reprojecting to other systems with the same result. I have also successfully run this command on other shapefiles with a prj file identical to this one. Any thoughts on how I could at least get some debugging information from ogr2ogr or what is special about this shapefile that causes it to fail silently?
