 I have it set up in this manner:

-my demo.map file is in the cgi-bin
-my data directory in in httpdocs (but i will change it to /cgi-bin/data, as 
you've suggested, once i get the mapserver working).
-my IMAGEPATH to my data directory

here is my url i put into the browser to test it:

http://www.dinequest.us/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/cgi-
bin/demo.map&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-83.81,41.25,-81.80,42.79

also have tried:

http://www.dinequest.us/cgi-bin/mapserv?
map=demo.map&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-83.81,41.25,-81.80,42.79


here is my updated map file:

IMAGEURL "http://localhost/data/"
