Failure to Start Postmaster/postgres

Hello all,

 

    I am rather new to Postgres (been using for about 5 months) and am having a slight issue with postgresql and it starting up.  I am running Debian GNU/Linux Woody 3.0, on a self-built server running DocMGR (http://docmgr.sourceforge.net/ [That one, there are so many versions of that program out]), Apache 1.3.33, Postgres, and multiple security programs.  When I reboot my machine, Postgres will not startup, and is not able to be forced to run after I have logged in and tried to manually start it.  I check all of the error logs on my Postgres user and in my root user's /var/log directory, and there is no sign of it failing.  All the error message I receive at startup tells me to do to fix this is look at the log files which, in essence, are completely clean.  Can anyone point me in a general direction to fix this problem; and thus allow me to get my server back up and running? 

 

Cheers,

Daniel Blavos
