<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff>I'm by no means an expert, but you
mentioned you have postgres and mapserver on separate machines. Yet in your data
statement, you use "localhost" as a host. "Localhost" means it tries to
access PostGIS on the same machine as where mapserver sits. I don't think that
will work.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff>If you want to use variable IP, you
will need to use the IP-name to have the machines access eachother. If they're
on the same network, just the machine name will do (e.g. pc100). </FONT></DIV>

Problem diplaying PostGIS layer. Postgres and Mapserver have been setup on
separate Machines<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<P>Thank you Mr. Giridhar and Shashi.</P>
<P>Before I check the things that you have asked me to... I would like to ask
one thing...</P>
<P>The machines on which Mapserver and Postgres are running, are in the
same network but the IP Adds are not static. Is it the problem
? Does Postgres denies access because the machine on which it is
running has non-static IP add. ?</P>
<P>Thank you.</P>
<P>Bye for now</P>
