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
