Hello,

As Morten says, you don't really need xampp. It is quite feasible to run
Tomcat with Xampp though you probably need to change the default port (or
quit Skype as Timothy said).

Still, you might just as well use DHIS2 Live for local use on your laptop -
it is very easy to link it to Postgres also. Just change the content of the
hibernate.properties file in the conf folder to something like this (use
your own database name and user/password):

hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class = org.postgresql.Driver
hibernate.connection.url = jdbc:postgresql:dhis2
hibernate.connection.username = dhis
hibernate.connection.password = dhis
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto = update
