load Map error

[Fawcett, David]

Albert, 
 
You are calling the MapServer cgi program, but you are not telling it which map file to use for configuration.  If you are calling the program with a get request (in a URL), it should look something like:
 
http://my.site/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mydirectory/mymapfile.map
 
You will likely set other variables in the URL also, like mode, layers, etc.  
 
If you are calling the MapServer cgi from a html form, you are missing a hidden html variable named map that, like the url variable above, would contain the path to your map file.  
 
David.
