you could start with telling us what operating
system/distribution/version you're running, and how you installed postgresql

most system default configurations, the server only listens to
localhost, not other IP addresses, you need to change the
listen_addresses parameter in postgresql.conf and adjust your
authentication methods appropriately in pg_hba.conf... but before
messing with that, verify the server is actually running, or not.

Do note, /etc/init.d scripts are meant to be run by the root user only,
not by a regular user account.
