What is showing for `ps aux | grep postgres` ? What is in the logs?

Both of these make it sound like you were upgrading from PostgreSQL
8.4. This requires a database conversion. What technique did you
use for that? (The more specific you can be about the exact steps,
the more likely it is that someone will be able to help you.)

Not unless you deleted your data directory. If you don't back it up
regularly, it would certainly be wise to do so before a major
release upgrade. Making a recursive copy of the database data
directory would be a very good idea right now.
