Hi, 

I'm a complete beginner with all things MapServer/MapScript/PHP related so
please bare with me.

I've had MapServer 3.6 running for a couple of weeks with no trouble.  It
was recommended to me that I upgrade and install Chameleon for some enhanced
features.  I have installed MapServer 4.0.1 and PHP 4.3.4 and both seem to
be working fine.  I am, however, having trouble with the Chameleon install.
I'm sure that the problem is with the paths I've set in the config file.
When I try to open http://localhost/cwc2/chameleon.php I get a blank page.
When I try to open http://localhost/cwc2/demo.php I get a page not found
error.  Should I be putting absolute or relative paths in my config file?
Is there something I'm missing?  I don't have wmsparse.exe installed because
despite all documentation to the contrary, it was not included in my
installation package and I haven't installed the GDAL component. 

I'd appreciate any help that anyone might be able to offer.  I've done a lot
of searching for help in the documentation but a lot of it seems incomplete.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. 

Thanks,

Tracy Howlett
