[postgis-users] PostGIS shp2pgsql load problem

[Richard White]

Hi,

 

I have been using shp2pgsql to load shape files into a PostGIS enabled
Postgres 8.4 database.

 

It was working fine but I am now being asked for a password for each
shapefile to load. When the correct (postgres user) password is supplied
I get the following error message;

 

psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"

FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

Richard.
