starting-problem: doesn't show the content

Hi,

I am new to the MapServer and tried a demo-mapfile, but it shows me no 
Shapefile and no Tiff.
I installed the win-version ms4w (4.6). The demo-mapfile (usa1.map) came 
into the directory c:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\, the shapefile "statesp020" 
to my own directory c:\ms4w\usr\shapes\. The only thing I changed in the 
demo-map was the SHAPEPATH, from "/var/www/html/data" to 
"c:\ms4w\usr\shapes\" (and the imagepath, but that should not be the 
problem). When I start mapserv with 
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=usa1.map&mode=map", I get a 
grey rectangle and the text-layer "Made with Mapserver". The Mapserver 
works but it doesn't show me the shapefile.
The same with the example usa3.map which should render a RASTER. I 
change the data-path to the path of the tif, but it doesn't show up. I 
tried to copy shape and tif directly into the cgi-bin-directory, where 
the .map is, but no difference.

I guess mapserver can't find the data.
The log-file isn't very informative:
"Sat Dec 17 13:43:24 2005,3728,127.0.0.1,USA1,3,-8000000.000000 
-3162500.000000 5000000.000000 4962500.000000,-1.000000 
-1.000000,,normal execution"

Any ideas?

Greetings and thanks,
Martin Vigerske
