Thanks Mike for the suggestion. I tried using 127.0.0.1. Same issue.
In addition, I do not think that MapServer is blocking the localhost
since I can see the mapfile when I enter
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=/var/www/chp2/hello.map.
Furthermore, Firebug is not showing any errors; or at least I do not see
any.
