tutorial example 1

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Try making your SHAPEPATH an absolute path and (or) switch the slashes.
Here's an example:  SHAPEPATH "e:\gisweb\library\hydrography\shapes"

Also try using
<img border="1"
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/webmap/tutorials/example1.map&mode=map"> instead
of <img border="1"
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/webmap/tutorials/example1.map&amp&;mode=map">

The tutorial might need some updating to work with the current version of
MapServer.  I'll update it as soon as I find time.

Good luck!
