It will depend on the host based authentication of your postgres instance - if you do not have an entry for your client machine in the pg_hba.conf file, you won't be able to connect from pgadmin, or psql. But you are more likely to have a trust setting for connections from localhost, so mapserver won't have the same problems. it isn't set to trust anyone, (which it absolutely shouldn't be), vis : psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "46.21.168.170" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html cheers Ben _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
