What is ScriptAlias set to?
Using php as CGI usually means that it's pointing to the PHP directory, which is 
where php-cgi.exe is located, but I'm fairly sure mapserver uses the 
conventional location for cgi-bin ... in the apache directory

I've been doing my own installations of Apache/PHP/Firebird/Mapserver, so 
haven't checked out the 'default' recently ...
