After your instructions i created a minimal project(based upon data from 
http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/). It can be downloaded 
from: http://nergens.org/projects/cartoweb/

To test(maybe you need to change this, depending on your configuration):

    * Is you map is working?
      http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\cartoweb3\projects\minimal\server_conf\minimal\minimal.map&mode=map
    * Is cartoweb working? http://localhost:8080/minimal.php

While doing this i encountered a msProcessProjection error, which i will 
list here also below, since i guess that more people will run into them :D

      Make sure that your PROJ_LIB enviourment variable is defined and
      pointing to the proj4 directory(default C:\PROJ\ under windows).
      Next part is from the README.TXT:

Whooh! my mapserver is now showing a map on the url: 
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\cartoweb3\projects\minimal\server_conf\minimal\minimal.map&mode=map.

Now i am going to test if works also with cartoweb:

Navigate to: http://localhost:8080/minimal.php

    * *

      *

Well, here i am clueless again,.. can somebody help me / provide some 
pointers for this problem? I tried google but i dont see a relation 
between the error message's overthere and this one.
