The first step to getting TileCache working is getting WMS working via
MapServer. You should first set up a WMS layer talking directly to the
MapServer in OpenLayers. Once you have that working, you can move on to
the next step.

The MapServer documentation has information on setting up a mapfile for
use by a WMS client -- the MapServer layer in OpenLayers does not need
full WMS layer support, but TileCache, as a WMS client, does. So does
the Layer.WMS in OpenLayers, so if you get it working there, TileCache
should be all set.
