Fire up cygwin and type the following:
psql myGIDdb
This should log you into the database using the default administrators
credentials. Now type:
\d
This sould list all the tables that are in the database. There should be
a geometry_columns, spatial_ref_sys table as a minimum. These are
installed by PostGIS. Now type:
select * from geometry_columns;
This should list the contents of the geometry_columns table.
If you've got this far without any problems it would seem that you've
PostgreSQL and PostGIS are installed and working. There's some other
things we can check e.g permissions, but let me know how you go with
these steps.
Cheers,
Benjamin Wragg

I tried now both connection settings
### Connect to a remote spatial database
CONNECTION "user=*** password=**** dbname=myGISdb host=localhost
port=5432"
### Connect to a remote spatial database
CONNECTION "user=*** password=**** dbname=myGISdb host=127.0.01
port=5432"
With the same error message.
I am also not a Unix (Cygwin) expert. So, I am not absolutly sure if the
PostgreSQL server is running right. Is there a possibility to check
this?
Well, if I type in ps at the shell I get three processes for PostgreSQL.
