btw, are you trying to start postmaster as root? it seems that there's a bug in postgresql: it says it started successfully when you start it as root, but it doesn't start. start it as pgsql (freebsd) or postgres (linux)Hello Paul:
What user are you using. Remember, you have a brand new install and haven't created any users yet, except for the superuser(postgres). Try connecting as the postgres(superuser).
