Migrating from Windows to Linux: trouble with mapfiles

It seems that this might be a rights issue. Is the postGIS database 
running on the same machine as qGIS? is the webserver on the same 
machine as the database? Did you allow access to the postGIS database in 
the pg_hba.conf? or is it set to localhost access only?

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
