If so you wouldn't easy setup one from scratch.
Try to learn the different part of it. ( really no chance to get it running from nowhere ).

The best way to learn is starting with a copy a one of the demo, and adjusting piece by piece to your needs.
It could be a "relative" long way to have all plugins and feature working together ( the time needed by your brain
to digest all the possibility offer by cartoweb )

Without any more information, I really suspect you have a trouble in the mapserver.ini.in

Pay special attention to the different directory, pathnames ( put them all lowercase so you would be surprised
when you run your project on a *nix boxe )

You will find all ressources on the wiki and www.cartoweb.org website under documentation.
Also the mapserver website explain howto write a mapfile.

I know this is not the solution, but I hope it could help you a bit.
