Well, if you manually download the deb files, you will need to download 
the other packages as well.

The complete set of package names is:
libapache2-mod-tile
renderd
openstreetmap-mapnik-stylesheet-data
osm2pgsql
openstreetmap-postgis-db-setup

If you use apt-get install, you only need to specify libapache2-mod-tile 
as the package depends and recommends the other packages and so apt-get 
will automatically install the other packages too.

That is probably because you didn't specify your username during the 
configuration as being allowed to access the db. You can use the script 
"install-postgis-osm-user.sh" to allow a user afterwards to access the 
db "gis" which is used by osm2pgsql and renderd.

Error messages of renderd will be printed in the syslog. You can check 
for errors and see if everything started correctly there.
