Wow!  Such a flurry of energy!

Take a deep breath.  Now, instead of trying to use that URL as the SRC field of an IMG tag, simply copy it into the address bar of your browser.  You will find that MapServer is attempting to give you a possibly informative text message:

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map

MapServer will tell you that it is unable to read your MAP file, either because the path to it is wrong (it's looking for /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map) or because there is an access/permissions problem.
