ms_newShapefileObj gives error in mapserver 4.4.2

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,
This error message can be output if MapServer is not able to open 
gspplan/bespreek.shp or gspplan/bespreek.dbf. From there you have 3 
things to check:
Does the shapefile exist?
Does this shapefile have a DBF associated with it?
Is the files are readable by the web user?
