This is really weird. Are you sure the application outside of your VM that works has the same connection string as the one that doesn't works ? Both applications (the one that works and the one that doesn´t) are using the same version of Mapserver ? Both applications (the one that works and the one that doesn´t) are hosted in the same machine/VM ?
