Is your dbname really dbpotgis and not dbpostgis?

 I am trying to load a mapserver service with a postgis connection but the  
 MS reported this message below:                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
 msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'bairros'.   
 msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. couldnt make connection to DB with      
 connect string 'user=postgres password=post dbname=dbpotgis                
 host=196.168.0.15 port=5432'.                                              
 Error reported was 'could not create socket: Permission denied '.          
 This error occured when trying to make a connection to the specified       
 postgresql server.                                                         
 Most commonly this is caused by                                            
 (1) incorrect connection string                                            
 (2) you didnt specify a 'user=...' in your connection string               
 (3) the postmaster (postgresql server) isnt running                        
 (4) you are not allowing TCP/IP connection to the postmaster               
 (5) your postmaster is not running on the correct port - if its not on     
 5432 you must specify a 'port=...'                                         
 (6) the security on your system does not allow the webserver (usually user 
 'nobody') to make socket connections to the postmaster                     
 (7) you forgot to specify a 'host=...' if the postmaster is on a different 
 machine                                                                    
 (8) you made a typo                                                        
 Does anyone can tell me what to do  ?
