Wokar,
you MUST set a proper path for your shapefile, because otherwise it becomes relative to the application. That is why it says:
msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/nhtm93s3)
Because it is trying to find a shapefile called "nhtm93s3" inside your cgi-bin folder. Use an absolute path for your shapepath. And if your file is not a shapefile, I think you should convert it. I am not sure whether the OGR input supports e00 (Arc Export format). But I know for sure it definitely will not work if you try to access it as a normal shapefile.
The errors you get so far are purely those of the input files not being found (or not being shapefiles). You must solve that first.
regards,
Jacob

Thank You Brent,
I did change the SHAPEPATH
Also, Instead of using those particular files, I replaced it with many different shapefiles....it still didn't show up. Only the map shows up and the layers don't. Even the legend doesn't show up. No clue why?

Wokar,
Two problems:
1. A file ending in .e00 is not a shapefile, it's an ESRI export format. I don't think Mapserver will read those. Search the MapServer email archive on how to convert e00 files to shapefiles.
2. You need to set your SHAPEPATH to have a leading "/" to indicate it's an absolute path:
SHAPEPATH "/var/www/temp"

Hi,
I have made a map file. My layers are still not showing up?? I have changed my SHAPEPATH, i also tried to put my data in different folders but it still didn't work. I have named my CLASSES and they still are not showing up on the le gend.
http://132.205.108.60
If I try to access my map by writing http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/cgi-bin/ogr.map&mode=map&layer=mylandcover
it gives me the following errors:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'mylandcover'.
msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/nhtm93s3)
msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/nhtm93s3)
When I try this :http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=ogr.map&mode=map&layer=myroads
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'myroads'.
msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/rtf100k)
msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/rtf100k)
The rtf100k and the other file both have an e00 extension. Is there a way to check if these files are corrupted?? They open up in otepad though. I'm working in linux
I tried putting all my data to var/www/temp but when i change my shapepath to this then int the above errors it says :
/var/www/cgi-bin/var/www/temp/rtf100k
why is that?why does it goes automatically to cgi-bin and then to var/www/temp/rtf100k.
Thank You all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
