If you already have a postgresql database setup (i.e. have used initdb and createdb tools on your db server) then you should only have to do
pg_ctl -D /path/to/the/dbname start
This needs to be executed on the DB server machine.
To check if the db server is running use the psql command:
psql -h host dbname username
This can be executed from any client - as long as the postgresql client is installed there.
This is all easiest to do if everything is running on one box.
Permissions are a different problem;

Can't get postgresql to work. I get the following error message:
Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No error Is the postmaster running (with -i) at 'Sortebill.catchcom.com' and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5432'? in c:/web/lsd/hidden/connect.php on line 2
Postgresql is a good database engine but quite som hazzle to get it running..
