I made some tests and changed the path in the WEB section of the .MAP
file. I also commented out the second line in the .PHTML files.
Now I can display the images that are generated from the mapserver
integrated into the .PHTML file.
I think there's something wrong with the PHP/Mapscript installation or
configuration. But I don't know what. I followed the installation steps on
the site http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI
section "Running only PHPMapScript scripts as a CGI".

But when I try to display the .MAP file directly (see URL below)
the image is still missing. Any ideas?
(I attached the edited files to this email.)
