Is your server running?

$ ps -ef | grep postmaster

If not, restart it.  You may have a stale pid file, so make sure that if your 
server is not running, remove the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid file.  
Use the 'locate' command if it's not in this directory (it's dependant on 
your distribution.
