Once you have your WMS service created, then I would:

- in a Web browser, construct a GetCapabilities request
- save the results locally
- open that file in a text editor, and then make sure all "warning"
messages are removed from that response
- then, test your service with a GetMap request
   - construct a GetMap request by hand in your Web browser, or cheat and
   - use QuantumGIS and add a WMS server there, try adding a layer from
your WMS server, and check your server's Apache logs, and grab the URL
from the log; once you have that log URL, go back to your browser and
paste that request there, then analyze the error
