Which formatting is considered correct? Would this be the source of the
parsing error?

[HII_railroads]
  type=WMS
  url=http://141.117.104.183/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe
  mapfile=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map
  extension=png
  layers=HII_railroads

or

[HII_railroads]
type=WMS
url=http://141.117.104.183/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe
mapfile=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map
extension=png
layers=HII_railroads

*Note the indentation.
