beginners problem

[Jason R. Patton]

greetings,

i am starting a second mapserver page at Humboldt State University.
unfortunately the first page was constructed by someone who is now in
another state. here's my question:

i have assembled the tutorial page and get this message when i "refresh"
the page

An error has occurred in msWriteLog(): Unable to access file.
(access.log)

does anyone know what my problem is and how i might fix it?

thanks, jay
