osm2pgsql not working in windows

Question

Hi, I have just downloaded osm2pgsql for Windows and I am trying to execute:

osm2pgsql -s -U postgres -d gisdb C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\data.osm

However, I am gettint this error:

osm2pgsql SVN version 0.83.0 (64bit id space)

Error: Connection to database failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

  Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.sPGSQL.5432"?

What is the problem?

Thanks!

Try the additional options --port 5432 and --host localhost to force osm2pgsql to make a TCP connection instead of using the Unix Domain Socket.

I also needed -W so that the command line asks for my database user's password.
