Hi Larry,
Well, everything I am going to tell you is assuming you have just done a
stock install of some recent RedHat, or have used all RPMs to install.
First type this at the prompt...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql status
You should get a response similar to this...(pid could be different)
postmaster (pid 694) is running...
If not then you are not running Postgres and should start it like so...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Checking postgresql installation: looks good!
Starting postgresql service: postmaster [5448]
(Note: Older versions respond differently.
If everything starts working then you are all set.
You may want to start ntsysv and set postgres to start when booting.
Hope it works.
Have fun,
--
