You need to create a database called "opencms" before starting the
opencms setup process. This is common procedure when setting up a new
database with PostgreSQL use command "createdb -E {encoding desired}
opencms". Then when you run the setup it will find the db in the system
catalogue, drop it and then recreate and populate it.

Hope that helps
