Hi Jeremy,

make sure Mapserver is compiled with MSDEBUG (check with mapserv -v).

Then define an environment variable called MS_ERRORFILE, if you are 
using Apache add the following to the Apache conf:

SetEnv "MS_ERRORFILE" "stderr"

and restart Apache. If you are using IIS, define a system env. variable 
and restart the system.

Mapserver will then log in the webserver's error log. You could also 
specify a file instead of stderr, but then make sure the webserver user 
has enough rights on this file.

Best regards,
Bart
