The webserver process is running with the access rights of a certain
user. That user must be able to write image files to that directory.

Apart from that, you need to set IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL in your mapfile
to fitting values.

I think you are mixing up map images and query files here. In your
setting, you are producing map image files, like in .png or .gif format.
It is indeed possible to save the staus of a query to a file, but that
has nothing to do with a map image.
