[postgis] Viewing mapserver itasca demo layer using postgis

[Tyler Mitchell]

I think I figured it out!  I did not enter in a user value for the
connection information!  I had assumed that it would try to use "nobody" at
run-time.  Now I'm getting somewhere!  Thanks guys.
But now I'm working on expressions.  What's wrong with this:
EXPRESSION ([cty_name] = 'Itasca')
It doesn't draw anything.  When I comment it out the features draw, but I
can't figure out if the syntax is wrong here or not.  I get a bit confused
with the FILTER and EXPRESSION syntax differences - is that an issue here?

Perhaps you should try to use it as the postgresql superuser to ensure
that
this isnt a permission problem.

On the other hand, it should be giving you an error if there's a problem
like that.
