For one thing Your mapcache.xml is requesting an image type agg_qn and
that is not defined in your mapfile. It can be defined like:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME "agg_qn"
DRIVER "AGG/PNG"
EXTENSION "png"
MIMETYPE "image/png"
IMAGEMODE RGB
FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=false"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_NEW=ON"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
#TRANSPARENT ON
#FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=ON"
END
Have you checked /var/log/apache2/error.log for error messages and
checked your /tmp/ms_tmp/ms_error files?
/tmp/mapcache. is where you will be putting your tiles, this needs to be
read/writable by the apache2 service and it needs to have enough space
for all your tiles. Also I believe you HAVE to make the top level cache
directory so in your case:
mkdir /tmp/mapcache/ms-base
chmod 777 /tmp/mapcache/ms-base
