postGIS problems

I installed mapserver/postgis a few days ago but I can't seem to get
a simple example working.  Is somebody willing to send me an example
postGIS map file as well as an SQL dump of their test database?
I just need a working demo - even if all it does is draw one line on
the screen.

This is the mapfile I've used so far.  I believe the extent is
right judging from the SQL result below.  All I get is just a gray
background on the PNG - no line segments at all.  I've also tried
TYPE LINES and same problem.

I have verified that database connection is successful and queries
were made.

Thanks,

Tim
