[mapguide-users] MgConnectionFailedException Error when creating a Postgis Layer

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I just noticed that you are using WebStudio.

WebStudio was never quite completed, so I would recommend that you try out
MapGuide Maestro instead:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro

If the PostGIS connection fails, try using the OGR provider instead.
If you don't have the OGR provider, see this short guide:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/UserGuides/UpdatingFDOInstallation
