Unable to access file???

[Trevor Banister]

Unless you compile under the Cygwin environment, you do need drive letters
and back slashes.

Some of the other users with more experience on NT can confirm or deny this
but
you may need to specify a drive letter too. NT seems very particular about
paths.

Dear mapserver users,
I have begun to use mapserver few days ago. I have installed it on windows 
Nt machine and It seems to work, but I'm not be able to view a very simple 
map. I have begun to write a simple map file and then I have put this 
string in my web browser (IE 5):
http://easyms/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms_demo/prova.map&mode=map.
The result is: msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/prova.map) 
        I have used the Path, relative to the CGI directory, but I have no 
result.
        This is my map file:

        NAME EX1 
EXTENT 74000 4775000 798000 5500000 
SIZE 300 300 
SHAPEPATH "/ms_demo/data" 
LAYER 
  NAME "lakes" 
  DATA lakes
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POLYGON 
  CLASS 
    COLOR 250 175 25 
  END
END
END

Please help me.
Thank you
