[opencms-dev] OpenCms 6.2.1 installation problem with PostgreSQL 8.1.4

[Andras Balogh]

Hello Gaith,

This is not a solution to your problem but try to install opencms on the 
new server (with postgres)
*without* the demo modules and templateone modules (just the core 
modules you need).
You don't need them anyway if you will move your old work from the old 
server.

Best regards,
Andras
