Dear ashok,
Looks like you installed pgsql from the RPMS.
I feel the /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql script should be more verbose to
tell about the exact problem.
In any case the sure shot method of initialising and starting the postmaster
is to follow the instruction that comes in the INSTALL file
help me
i re - install the postgresql but it not start, gives following errors:
1) initiliazing database [FAILED]
2) postgresql service [FAILED]
it gives a message in /var/log/message:- "session closed for user
postgres"
pls help me.
