How can I check if the server is running like it is supposed to?

Try this command: ps aux | grep postgres You should have an entry containing something like the following if PostgreSQL is up and running: /usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/postgres -D

How can I start this server?

If it's not running, try this: sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 start

After :$ sudo su postgres -c psql template1
I am getting :

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket “/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432”?

How can I check if the server is running like it is supposed to?
How can I start this server?

Thanks for the tutorial.
A semicolon (‘;’) is missing at the end of the ALTER command.
Had me stuck for a while
