Well, this is what I am doing:

service postgresql-9.2 start
Starting postgresql-9.2 service: [FAILED]

And this is the log file with the error:

cat /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/pgstartup.log

2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOG: XX000: could not bind IPv4 socket:

using socket file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOCATION: CreateLockFile, miscinit.c:822

And this is the running instance:

service postgresql-9.1 status
postgresql-9.1 (pid 1299) is running...

So, I am fairly sure that I am trying to get 9.2 started and failing
and not trying to start another instance of 9.1.
