The images for the map, reference map, legend, and query files will all be 
saved to the IMAGEPATH directory, which is relative to the .map file. So in 
your case it looks like your map file is in /var/www/html/tutorial35 and 
../../tmp/ would put you at /var/tmp/. Is your webserver aliasing /tmp to 
/var/tmp/? Check the time stamps on the files in /var/www/html/tmp. Try 
seleting everything in both /var/tmp/ and  /var/www/html/tmp and then hit 
mapserver and see where the images files appear, because what you describe 
below does not quite make sense.
