Hello,

If I were you I would test your shapefile-mapfile with the shp2img 
utility, and enable debugging 
(http://www.mapserver.org/optimization/debugging.html) and then paste 
your exact error into your next email to the emailing list.

I would also remove all other layers, and all projection objects, and 
set the EXTENT parameter to the extents of your shapefile, and then 
retry shp2img.

Hope that helps you get moving in the right direction.
