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.

LAYER 
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis 
  NAME "points" 

  ### Connect to a remote spatial database 
   CONNECTION "user=*** password=**** dbname=myGISdb host=localhost 
port=5432"

Hi list, 

I am a  newbie an struggeling with getting GIS data from the database. I 
get the  following error in the browser 

msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. Error parsing POSTGIS connection 
information. 

This is my layer  definition: 

LAYER 
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis 
   NAME "points" 

  ### Connect to a  remote spatial database 
  CONNECTION  "user=*** dbname=myGISdb host=127.0.0.1" 

  ### Get the points from the 'col1' column of the 't1'  table 
  DATA "col1 from t1" 
  STATUS ON 
   TYPE POINT 

  CLASS 
    COLOR 255 0 0        
  END 
END 
### end of layer  definitions 

Any help is welcome.
