MapServer Beginner Stuck<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I've been following MapServer
from afar on James Fee's blog and I've finally decided to take the
plunge. I'm a long time ArcIMS developer so these concepts in MapServer
aren't that far off from what I'm used to doing, but I have to admit I'm at a
loss at getting my first WMS service up and running.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>I
installed MS4W and have that running. The Demo runs perfectly, but when
I try and create my own .map file, I seem to have hit a wall. This is
the contents of my mapfile.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>MAP<BR>
