[mapserver-users] Problem with using MapServer

I have created a sample Mapserver .map file with information about my map data as follows: 

MAP
  NAME World
  STATUS ON
  SIZE 400 300
  SYMBOLSET ../etc/symbols.txt
  EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
  UNITS DD
  SHAPEPATH "data"
  IMAGECOLOR 0 0 0

  WEB
    IMAGEPATH "C:/OSGeo4W/tmp/ms_tmp/"
    IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
  END

  LAYER
    NAME WorldLayer
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "data/world.Tab"
    STATUS ON
  END

END


When I call MapServer with the url:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\ramm-demo\ramm.map&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=WorldLayer&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&FORMAT=image/png&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300

I get the following error instead of an image:

getString(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near ('):(line 16) 

Would anyone know were my mistake is?
