I forgot to mention that my OS is windows XP, SP2. I also have tomcat installed, but it was stopped during all of this. Please, if anyone has any idea how to get postgres to work I would really appreciate some feedback. Also, I am willing to start from scratch and install the versions of the software that will be guaranteed to interoperate, just let me know what they are.
I installed the same 3-application combination on a Vista machine a few months ago, and it works just fine. Go figure.
