No... I'm not sure how to get this(?) - I thought it might be shown if  
I set the debug levels high enough, but so far no luck!

using either :

new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( 'Countries',
	'http://trade.murdoch.local/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/Users/19022662/Sites/marketprices/mapserver/layers/ol_countries_wms.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&EXCEPTIONS=INIMAGE&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4326&' 
,
                 {layers: 'countries'} );

or

new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( 'Tail Tag Areas',
	'http://trade.murdoch.local/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/Users/19022662/Sites/marketprices/mapserver/layers/ol_countries_wms.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4326' 
,
               {layers: 'tailtagareas', transparent: 'true', version:  
'1.3.0', exceptions: 'xml'}         );

gives no error, but neither do I receive any images any more.

using the url (such as in the first example) works fine in QGIS, so  
I'm guessing the web serving 'can' work... very confusing.

cheers
