You have provided no information that would make me think you have read and followed the installation instructions. Did you? Did you create the appropriate groups? Change file system ownership? Make the required changes to /etc/system? Reboot so the changes would take effect?

No point in anyone trying to help you until we know that you've covered the basics.
