I have made a simple html-file in my http-root to test the openlayers/mapserver configuration (see below). The map file seems to work. I was able to generate an image with: shp2img -m mymap.map -o mymap.png (see below). When I open the example via localhost, I get a set of pink tiles and the requested map controls. I have added the location of one of the tile-images below. I also added the contents of the Mapserver map-file.
