Postgres trouble

[renn3r]

When i try to run postgres, I get this message :

chown: cannot access `/var/postgres/': No such file or directory
postmaster cannot access the server configuration file "/var/postgres/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory

And when I trie command createdb mydb :

createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I tried if port 5432 is open, and it isn't.

When i try locate postgresql.conf I get :
/home/postgres/unicornscan/postgresql.conf
/home/postgres/metasploit3/postgresql.conf
/usr/local/pgsql/share/postgresql.conf.sample

And when I try to find tcp_socket setting in postgresql.conf, there isn't any.

Can you pleas help me with this ?

I made it, this is how I did:
I copied entire content of /home/postgres/unicornscan/ to /var/postgres/
And then chmod 0700 postgres .

delusr, thank you very much for helping me.
