[mapserver-users] OSM via mapserver setup help?

[Brent Wood]

Hi,
I'm looking to create a WMS & WM(T)S server for OSM data in New Zealand, on Mint 17 (Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty LTS)

I have followed the instructions here:https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Rendering-OSM-data-on-Ubuntu-12.04

Which as about as up to date as any mapserver/imposm instructions I have found.
I have sorted out a few issues, but it is not yet working - probably due to my ignorance of things apache. As far as I can tell, the instructions do NOT describe how to get a WMS working with the mapfiles, only how to get a TMS working with the cache (which does not work for me either - & instructions like "check the apache logs" don't help me much - being well ahead of my apache knowledge. 
I have got mapserver working as a cgi OK - with the usual error message to say it is working from the browser, 
"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."
My problem seems to be getting the paths/url set so mapserver can find the osmbase.map, etc to access  the osm data in the database.
Any advice appreciated.
