PostGIS connection

[SUBSCRIBE MAPSERVER-USERS Bego D.]

Hello

We are new in Mapserver.

I have installed MapServer 4 Windows version 2.2.6 on my computer and in 
another computer of my office we have installed Postgis 1.3.2. for 8.2 
PostgreSQL.

Both works fine, we can work with Mapserver-Oracle Spatial or with .shp 
or .tab, but now we want to connect MapServer with PostGis and we get this 
error:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'INFVIA'. 
msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. couldnt make connection to DB with 
connect string 'host=****** dbname=****  user=postgres 
password=****** port=5432'. Error reported was 'could not connect to 
server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on 
host "192.168.0.3" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? '. 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 

My .map is:


CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
CONNECTION "host=***.***.**.* dbname=**user=postgres password=*** 
port=5432"  
DATA "the_geom geometry from INFVIA2"

Any help will be appreciate.
