The .shp should work. The thing with .shp is that if you don't use any 
projection the mapserver handles the data as it is of the same type and 
you have no problem.

But with WMS you must have a projection defined for the map and I think 
the best way is to set a standard epsg code. If your defintion works 
with your it's also OK. But you must provide this. Even if you have only 
one WMS layer the mapserver won't take it for the map.
