Example 1.9: Interactive Maps and the Browse Mode not working

Mon Jan 7 06:31:25 EST 2008

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 clicked on the place of the image with the cross sign, i t gives an 
error "msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String ([map]) failed expression 
test."

my mapfile is:
