Your RaQ4r has *both* Interbase AND PostgreSQL on it already. PostgreSQL is
the database that holds all of your user info.
Installing MySQL on there and having all 3 doesn't hurt anything; they all
run independently of one another.
You don't need to uninstall anything; I'd look closely instead at this iHTML
Enterprise and see why it's not working. Since the folders aren't typical on
a RaQ, some programs don't slide right in. They need to be tweaked a little
first. Also make sure you're using the correct username and password for the
databases - your program won't know how to connect to *any* database if it
doesn't have the correct settings.
I certainly wouldn't uninstall PostgreSQL without treading extremely
carefully - if you uninstall the wrong one (the one that was on there when
you got the RaQ) then you'll break the machine. Do you know if you loaded
the new PostgreSQL over the top of the one that already existed,  or did you
put it in a different spot?
Rule of Thumb - never go breaking your machine just because a script/program
doesn't seem to work.  Rewrite the script so it *does* work, or find a new
script to use.
