Gee Neil,
Have you checked that postmaster is up & running ... ?
Do a
ps -ef | grep postmaster
Have you tried to use the "-d" option ?
<snip>
[root@stackanov root]# postmaster --help
postmaster is the PostgreSQL server.
Usage:
postmaster [options...]
Options:
-B NBUFFERS number of shared buffers (default 64)
-c NAME=VALUE set run-time parameter
-d 1-5 debugging level
-D DATADIR database directory
-F turn fsync off
-h HOSTNAME host name or IP address to listen on
-i enable TCP/IP connections
-k DIRECTORY Unix-domain socket location
-N MAX-CONNECT maximum number of allowed connections (1..1024,
default 32)
-o OPTIONS pass 'OPTIONS' to each backend server
-p PORT port number to listen on (default 5432)
-S silent mode (start in background without logging
output)
Developer options:
-n do not reinitialize shared memory after abnormal
exit

the configuration file.
