Sounds like you created a database named something like:

MyDatabase

and are now referencing it as

mydatabase.

Make sure that whatever you call it in the creation wizard you call it
that later. and you can save yourself a lot of little headaches by just
naming everything, everywhere in lower case.

Note that you also have to edit postgresql.conf to get a database to
answer sometimes as well.
