IIRC, LOG only logs some info on the mapserv request status at the end 
of its execution. I don't use it much and don't know much about it.

To get debugging output, with MapServer 5.0+, set:

   CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "/Users/punkish/Sites/sqlitegis/tmp/ms.log"

... and then set DEBUG level (ON, or number between 1 and 5) at the 
top-level in the mapfile and in each layer for which you want debugging 
output.

More details are available in RFC-28:
