Hi Martin, Glad you got it running.
The OGCserver is designed to generate images in the browser dynamically and does not save them anywhere. So, if you've got your world map appearing with that request then you are good to go. The next step would be to set up OpenLayers or some other Client application to form up those requests automatically for you so you can pan and zoom. If you want to save the images you should try out Nik2img.py or generate_tiles.py. If you are asking about where the shapefile is located that the map is being generated from, that is set in your 'map_factory.py' file which the ogcserver.conf points to.
