Is that a "page not found" error from your web server,
or an "msLoadMap(): unable to access file" error from Mapserver?

If the former, it's a typo in the URL.

If the latter, "mymap.map" needs to be the path to the mapfile
from the mapserver program if they are in different directories.

For instance, if you have:
/var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv
/var/www/maps/mymap.map

You would need ?map=../maps/mymap.map or ?map=/var/www/maps/mymap.map

Hope that helps.
