Hi Don,

OK, looks good so far. Is mapserver listed in the output if you go 
to:

http://yourserver/info.php

If it does not show then you have an install problem for 
php_mapscript. You can debug it now or try the demo application which 
does not use php_mapscript.

The next step would be to get the demo application for ms-3.6.6. BTW 
is there some reason you are not using ms-4.0 which is the current 
release.

Then the next step is to get some data of whatever you would like to 
draw maps of and create a mapfile to render it. This is often easiest 
if you take the demo application and modify it to work with your 
data. If you get stuck, the list has lots of people that are willing 
to help. So just post a message with some details.
