New User question

Sean: Couple of things. First, the path to the mapfile *must* be full path (i.e. including c:\web) and
second, questions like these really belong on mapserver-users...

I installed mapserver on windows XP with  ms441pg.zip and I am working
through the tutorial.  I am running Apache, and my localhost folder is
C:\web and mapserver located at C:\web\mapserver\.  I'm trying to load a
shape file to get started, so I copied the example1-1.map and modified
it,correctly I hope.  When I use the url modified for my computer I get:

"msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.
(/mapserver/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map) "

url:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map&layer=roads&mode=map 

Am I missing something?  My map file is below.  Thanks.

Sean
