Oh. I think Cobalt has a Postgres (6.5.something?) installed as part of
the OS. You'll need to pick a different port number than 5432 to avoid
conflicting with the system's server.
BTW, I've heard that people tried to replace the built-in Postgres with
newer releases and had troubles, so I don't recommend trying that unless
you're ready to do some debugging.
