I tried starting postgres using the main configuration file. I get "not a directory" message...
-bash-4.1$ /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf
postgres cannot access the server configuration file "/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf/postgresql.conf": Not a directory

There are no processes belonging to postgres on the system.
-bash-4.1$ ps -edf | grep postgres
root 6412 6249 0 18:22 pts/0 00:00:00 su - postgres
postgres 6413 6412 0 18:22 pts/0 00:00:00 -bash

I suspect if it gives you such an error there must something bound to
the address. Have you tried to execute nmap against the IPv4 address
your server is listening on (or supposed to be listening on)?
