dpkg -s postgresql

when as root I type

psql
psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "root"

how will I get the psql prompt any idea?
I have checked this page
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/index.html
they talk about creating database and things like that but I am not
able to find
if I have to do some thing to be able to run it as root
(just to make eliminate that openacs is not able to connect to postgresql)

Right

This will happen only when I will finish installation of openacs or
some thing different is possible.

ok if some one else wishes to reply the problem is during installation itself
apt-get install openacs
it tries to install aolserver and start that aolserver at 80 which is
not successful since Apache is listening at 80.
Is there a way that during installation I can control aolserver from
starting so that conflict does not happen
and when I install it I configure where ever I choose a different port.
