Have you started the service?  If "ps auxww | grep postgres" doesn't
show some postgres-owned processes, you need

        sudo /sbin/service postgresql start

You probably also want 

        sudo /sbin/chkconfig postgresql on

but that just fixes things so that future reboots will automatically
start the database, it doesn't make it run now.

                        regards, tom lane
