Thread: ConnectDBStart() -- connect failed

ConnectDBStart() -- connect failed

I'm using SuSE Linux 7.0 with PostgreSQL 7.0.3. I encounter the following error while adding a user
 
test:~# su postgres
test:/root ~# createuser
Shall the user be allowed to create databases?(y/n) : y
Shall the user be allowed to create more users? (y/n) : y
psql: ConnectDBStart() -- connect failed - Connection refused
    Is the postmaster running at localhost?
    and accepting connection on Unix sockets '5432'?
createuser: creation of user www failed
 
Pls advise.
