 Please  CC' the entire list on your responses.  

 From  your description, you have an error in your mapfile.  I would suggest  including the text of your mapfile in your response to the list.   

 David.

   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.
