Hi,
I don't know anything about Macs but http://localhost.com<http://localhost.com/> feels odd. Perhaps it should be just http://localhost?<http://localhost/?>

# This is the final test to ensure mapserver is installed and functioning correctly.

Mapserver version: 6.0.1
Mac OS X version: 10.6.8
Safari version: 5.1.2
My suspicion is the error is related to how mapserver and apache are communicating; however, not being apache literate, I don't know where to begin diagnosing the connection problem. I ran a syntax check on the httpd.conf file and it returned the following:
Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro:bin bobby$ apachectl -t
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using
Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro.local for ServerName
Syntax OK
Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro:bin bobby$
The above error is returned regardless if I am connected to the internet via a wireless or hardwired connection.
Listed below are details regarding my installation.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
