For testing map files, I like to go the simplest route and use mode=map.
I took the map file text below (not including "test.map" because that
would break the file) and I pasted it into a new map file.
I called it using the URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=d:\test.map
and it returned a yellow rectangle with "Hello World" and a one pixel
red dot in the middle of it.
There appears to be nothing wrong with your map file. I am running MS4W
2.2.6
David.
PS. This line from your html page looks a little funky:
<input type="hidden" name="map_web" value="imagepath
C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\tmp\ imageurl /tmp/">

Parsing error near(:):(line 1)
Unfortunately the error insists.
I have tried every advice you gave me but stiil nothing.
All the modifications i did are:
1)Check the orientation of slashes and i actually tried every
possible orientation.
2)Placed the MAP keyword in the first line of .map file.
3)Tried an older version of MapServer (although there is nothing
different according to the site...).
Perhaps i should try it on linux?
Does it make any difference at all?
