But when I looked the result via browser (mozilla, konqueror, IE) all I got in MapServer Demo Interface page is a black map with some feature on its right side (refresh/query, browse map, query feature, and so on). I could click on the map and the mapserv perform an action. However, the result is still same, nothing there, only black.
