I'm trying to render a world map shapefile on my Geoserver with a Mercator projection. I've tried declaring the SRS on Geoserver and defining EPSG projections of 3785 or 900913 in Openlayers with no success. I've also tried to reproject the shapefile using ogr2ogr but the result is slightly off.

Here's the command used:
ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:3785 target.shp source.shp
I'm new to this technology & mapping concepts. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
