Hi,

very likely there is a problem with your DATA declaration since, as far as
I know you have to put the name of the coverage enclosed within quotes and
complete with the extension like:

DATA 'popplace.shp'

On the other side this MAP file looks wery "skinny".

Here is an example of a MAP "template" I am using with my system for a
vector coverage in SHP format:

###<<<START>>>6493f0c28e6856b_VL2
LAYER
  NAME '6493f0c28e6856b_VL2'
  TYPE LINE
  DATA 'absolute path to the location of the shape file like
/usr/local/web/gweb/gis-root/level_2/cartographic_background/administrative_boundaries/district_limit/6493f0c28e6856b/reg2010_s.shp'
  DUMP true
  HEADER 'this is optional and allows to return the results of an identify
in html format but in order to have this you have to declare
"'wms_feature_info_mime_type' 'text/html'" in the WEB METADATA section
of the MAP part of the map file, that at the beginning of the file
:/usr/local/web/gweb/gis-root/level_2/cartographic_background/administrative_boundaries/district_limit/6493f0c28e6856b/template_header.html'
  TEMPLATE 'this MUST be filled with something also some gibberish like
"templatestuff" or the absolute path to a real HTML file like:
/usr/local/web/gweb/gis-root/level_2/cartographic_background/administrative_boundaries/district_limit/6493f0c28e6856b/template_query.html'
  FOOTER 'applies the same comment of the HEADER token
/usr/local/web/gweb/gis-root/level_2/cartographic_background/administrative_boundaries/district_limit/6493f0c28e6856b/template_footer.html'

# In this field the user can insert the commands to display the map

# accordingly with a classification based on the value of one or more fields

# following the MAP Server syntax like in the following example:

#

#

#  CLASSITEM 'Code'

#  CLASS

#      NAME '1.000 < Code < 13.250'

#      EXPRESSION ( ([Code] >= 1.000) AND ([Code] <= 13.250) )

#       STYLE

#         WIDTH 1

#         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

#         COLOR 0 255 0

#       END

#  END

#  CLASS

#      NAME '13.250 < Code < 25.500'

#      EXPRESSION ( ([Code] >= 13.250) AND ([Code] <= 25.500) )

#       STYLE

#         WIDTH 1

#         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

#         COLOR 0 191 64

#       END

#  END

  CLASS
     NAME 'VL_2: Regioni'
     TEXT ([NOME_REG])
     STYLE
       WIDTH 1
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
       COLOR 127 127 127
     END
    LABEL  # the field used to display the label is declared in the TEXT
token few lines before
      FONT 'arial'
      TYPE bitmap

Hoping that this will be of some help.
