Monitor. I can't use Creat User in the Client tools (or any
other tool). It says:

Database connection failed:
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

See if there is an error message in the console log (/Applications/ Utilities/Console). The startup command was:

su -m postgres -c '/Library/PostgreSQL8/bin/pg_ctl start -D /Library/ PostgreSQL8/data -l /Library/PostgreSQL8/log/PostgreSQL8.log -o -i'

Is there a valid cluster created in /Library/PostgreSQL8/data? You should also be able find what went wrong by looking in the PostgreSQL log file which is the path specified by -l above.
