Thank you both. Now I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. I got my first request from MapServer work! You were both right <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">CLASS, </span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">STATUS were missing.</span><div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
You do not ask for any layer. Add STATUS DEFAULT to your layer or add &layers=all into your request.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, even your mapfile is short is has many other errors and outdated stuff. Where did you take an example when you wrote it?<br>
<br>
We should absolutely have some guaranteed correct mapfiles with corresponding data for the newbies and it should be forbidden for the poor new users to do any own trials before the Hello Word example shows a map. When I started we had MapLab but what do we have now? Even the Qgis mapfile write plugin is broken nowadays.<br>

The computer is running Ubuntu 10.04 with UbuntuGIS-unstable repository.<br>
The map file is located under the Apache folder (/var/www/teste.map) and trying to load a PostGIS layer.<br>
This is the content of my map file:<br>

END<br>
<br>

<br>

END<br>
EXTENT -180 -90 180 90<br>
END<br>
<br>
END<br>

<br>
Any clue of what I'm doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
