Who installed MapServer then? Depending how it was compiled the cgi executable may be looking for loadable libraries (.so or .dll). That's one of the only ways you'll get a 500 error without trying to do something. On linux you often need to set an environment variable within apache's config, something like:

That is my problem...i try to use a free web host to make a simple demo of my work. The server is linux, use apache and permit CGI. Because i try to build a hello map whithout render any image, i dońt expect problem whith the libraries so soon.
