Hi Christian,
=20
Have you enabled TCP/IP connections in your copy of postgresql? To check
this, fire up cygwin and go to /usr/local/pgsql/data. Load the file
postgresql.conf into a text editor and change the line reading
'#tcpip_socket=3Dfalse' to 'tcpip_socket=3Dtrue'.
=20
Secondly, load up pg_hba.conf into a text editor and make sure there are
two entries for your machine in there:
=20
host       all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255    trust
host      all         x.x.x.x              255.255.255.255 trust
(where x.x.x.x is the IP of your machine on your LAN)
=20
=20
Finally, restart postgresql and see if you can then connect to the db
using mapserver. If you've done it right, typing 'netstat -an' from a
command prompt should give an entry similar to:
=20
TCP      0.0.0.0:5432      0.0.0.0:0           LISTENING
or
TCP      x.x.x.x:5432      0.0.0.0:0           LISTENING
=20
where 5432 is the port used by postgresql....
=20
=20
Hope this helps,
=20
Mark.

I tried now both connection settings=20

### Connect to a remote spatial database=20
CONNECTION "user=3D*** password=3D**** dbname=3DmyGISdb host=3Dlocalhost
port=3D5432" =20

### Connect to a remote spatial database=20
CONNECTION "user=3D*** password=3D**** dbname=3DmyGISdb host=3D127.0.01
port=3D5432" =20

With the same error message.=20

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?=20
Well, if I type in ps at the shell I get three processes for PostgreSQL.
