[Mapserver-users] Missing Something

[Hal Mueller]

Your first "END" line is in the wrong place, I think.  The LAYER 
definition is outside the MAP definition.

Instead of saying
  MAP
(more stuff)
END

LAYER
(more stuff)
END

you should have

MAP
(more stuff)
LAYER
(more stuff)
END
END

I suggest you also have a look at 
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/hello.phtml
which is a working demo that doesn't require any shapefiles or projection.
