It seems that for some reason your php.ini changes didn't take effect: 
the error message says that it cannot find './php_mapscript.so', and 
usually the message includes the full path from the php.ini, suggesting 
that in this case it's "./" which is the default value in the PHP 
distribution.

I would suggest that you check the phpinfo() output to double-check the 
path where PHP looks for php.ini, and make sure that you edit the right 
copy of php.ini: look for the 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path' value 
in the first table of the phpinfo output.
