Hello We are new in Mapserver.
I have installed MapServer 4 Windows version 2.2.6 on my computer and in another computer of my office we have installed Postgis 1.3.2. for 8.2 PostgreSQL. Both works fine, we can work with Mapserver-Oracle Spatial or with .shp or .tab, but now we want to connect MapServer with PostGis and we get this error: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'INFVIA'. msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. couldnt make connection to DB with connect string 'host=****** dbname=**** user=postgres password=****** port=5432'. Error reported was 'could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "192.168.0.3" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? '. This error occured when trying to make a connection to the specified postgresql server. Most commonly this is caused by (1) incorrect connection string (2) you didnt specify a 'user=...' in your connection string (3) the postmaster (postgresql server) isnt running (4) you are not allowing TCP/IP connection to the postmaster (5) your postmaster is not running on the correct port - if its not on 5432 you must specify a 'port=...' (6) the security on your system does not allow the webserver (usually user 'nobody') to make socket connections to the postmaster (7) you forgot to specify a 'host=...' if the postmaster is on a different machine (8) you made a typo My .map is: CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS CONNECTION "host=***.***.**.* dbname=**user=postgres password=*** port=5432" DATA "the_geom geometry from INFVIA2" Any help will be appreciate. Bego
