Thanks Bob, Andrew;
I downloaded and installed an X windows server on the client machine I am connecting from and gedit started working. It was very slow though. I ended up using nano. 

You are correct Bob. There is an area in your manual that talks about PgAdmin3 but like you said, it is not working. I had to use psql instead. 

There is also an area in the manual that talks about apache-tomcat; I followed the steps on "preparing tomcat for dhis". Tomcat is now running but it is not executing dhis. Is there something else i need to do? Please advice.

If you have the time, I can provide you with the login details to my server so you can login and check. 

Thanks,

Ese
