still not getting to the interactive html

Mon Jan 14 10:09:11 PST 2008

Change your IMAGEURL line to:
IMAGEURL "/chk/tmp/ms_tmp/"

Remember IMAGEURL is relative to your web server's root.  It's probably 
not well described in the mapfile reference documentation but that's the 
first place I'd check if I where you.
