Two things: 1) TEMPLATE is a keyword and must be quoted at the moment, so use DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
2) The file to be used in the OUTPUTFORMAT is given like this: FORMATOPTION 'FILE=/some/template/file/...' 3) You're call to MapServer needs to be a query. For example: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/pmapper/pmapper-3.2.0/config/default/geojson_demo.map&layer=countries&mode=nquery&qformat=geojson This call will use all the default EXTENT value in the mapfile to query all eligible layers and run the results through the geojson driver. I'm doing this to produce javascript code that gets executed by an Ext.JS component. Not purely GeoJSON but it works similarly.
