[Mapserver-users] new to mapserver - installation help

[Michael Darweesh]

Are the gdal and proj libraries in the library search path for the user 
who runs httpd?
And, did you do a ldconfig (as root) on the machine running the httpd 
after you installed the new libraries?

Based on that errorlog, I speculate that your mapserv isn't even 
successfully executing when run as cgi.

Paste a copy of the ls -l of your mapserv's directory in your reply if 
you could.
