um, you should use that doc to read about the wms_onlineresource URL
(it should point to your mapserv executable), and you should follow
the "Test your WMS Server" section of that doc to test the
capabilities in the browser (no client, such as qgis, is needed) and
look for errors or warnings. You might also want to follow the
"MapServer OGC workshop": http://ms-ogc-workshop.maptools.org/

mapserver nubie and trying the itasca demo which works fine via the
web
interface.
From my reading of
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#setup-a-mapfile-for-your-wms
the basic configuration (minus layers) is activated by default in
the demo.

# Start of web interface definition (including WMS enabling metadata)

WMS_ONLINERESOURCE "http://localhost/workshop/itasca/index.html";
WMS_SRS "EPSG:26915"
END
END
-------------------------eof-----
Yet despite which ever URL I call from qgis I get different errors,
mostly 404
or the alternative:
Could not get WMS capabilities: tag mismatch at line 30 column 9
This is probably due to an incorrect WMS Server URL.
Tried URL: http://localhost/workshop/?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
Any insight would be appreciated.
Best and many thanks
