hi,as i am new to the mapserver, and find it good for the pdf outputs. i have installed the ms4w package and tutorial for mapserver version 5. i have tried the tutorial as well, but getting some problem.
i have copied my mapfile and an html page on the path "C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\chk" and got it running in the browser as "http://localhost:82/chk/example1-9.html". but the problem is with browser output. i m unable to see the image when the mode is set to browse. i have followed the link 
http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-9.map&layer=states&layer=modis
in the log file i am getting an error "[Mon Jan 07 10:39:28 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/chk/[img], referer: http://localhost:82/chk/example1-9.html"
when i checked the tmp\ms_tmp\ i found no image there. 
 also when i click on the place of the image it give me the error :
"msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String ([map]) failed expression test."
 
my mapfile is:
MAP  NAME           EX1.9_  IMAGETYPE      PNG24  EXTENT 246033.25 53055.59765625 250754.625 57199.203125  SIZE           400 300    WEB    TEMPLATE  'C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/chk/example1-9.html'    IMAGEPATH 'c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/'    IMAGEURL  'c:/ms_tmp/'  END    # Start of LAYER DEFINITIONS ---------------------------------------------  LAYER # States polygon layer begins here    NAME         states    CONNECTIONTYPE postgis    CONNECTION "user=kk password=kk dbname=kk host=localhost port=5432"    DATA "geom from topographicarea"    TYPE POLYGON    STATUS       OFF

END # end of mapfile -------------------------------#
