Try this:
become root , then:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
The manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/postmaster-start.htm) says
the above script would be "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres.init" but the above is
where it lives on my Redhat setup.
You wouldn't need to be root if you know what the postrgres user's password
is.
