[postgis-users]postgis database connection failed.

[srini at linuxsysadmin.net]

Hi all,

I am trying to load the shp file into postgis and i am getting the
conection failed error message. The user i am using is the owner of the
database and the firewall is turned on in windows xp. Can some one help me
in knowing what can be the possible reasons for it?
