Hi,

great. Yes if you get the index page, Apache is working ok.

The ms4w list is only intended for specific things about the installer,
not Mapserver in general. Questions about Mapserver you can best post on
the mapserver-users list.

See:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/support.html

Best regards,
Bart
