[mapserver-users] problem with shape files

Hi, I couldn't find any reference to this sort of problem in the archives so
here goes. I have shape files in my C:\Inetpub\wwwroot directory called
gaslines. They work fine with ESRI's products. However, I have set up a
simple test to use these shape files, but with no success. The legend and
scalebar png's are being produced, but the shape file image isn't. I've
checked the output directory and the legend and scalebar images are there,
but the shape file image isn't (e.g. there are file names like
"testingleg333.png" and "testingsb333.png" but no "testing.png") I have
tried moving the shape files to different directories (all web-accessible)
and changing the needed files, but that hasn't worked. Also, there are no
errors produced by the mapserver. It comes back with another web page with
everything there but the shape file image. Also, the legend image is there
but it is empty (obviously, since the mapserver can't seem to find/read the
shape files). I also tried running shp2img, and it at least outputs a
image, although it is blank (solid white). It produces no errors. Does
anyone have any ideas??? They would be greatly appreciated! Oh here are my
map file and my test_init.html and test.html files. Also my machine is
running WindowsNT 4.0 with IIS 4.0 and MapServer 3.4 (I just downloaded it
this morning).
