Turning on and then reading the log file can certainly help.

You can usually directly access these error by using firebug or
webdeveloper plugins with firefox to determine and go to the url of
the pink tile (Tools-->Page Info-->Media can also work in firefox).  A
lot of the time when you go directly to the url, you will get some
MSERROR xyz which should give you a hint or share it here.  You can
also search the MapServer site for the error or the MapServer email
archives, http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/MapServer-f4226623.html
