I do get this

[root@CentOS65x64 huamin]# runuser -l postgres -c "postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data"
FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists
HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 1764) running in data directory "/var/lib/pgsql/data"?

That means the server is already running which is good. psql is the client.

Did you create a user yet?

Nothing and no.

Does psql work i.e connect to the server?

Hi,

what did you do to make that error message appear, and why did you do it?

Evo2.
