Hello.
I can't say why this tip worked, but I can say you that you shouldn't
bother about the "FATAL: the database system is starting up" message:
PgSQL routinely displays this message when starting up. "FATAL" is
called "gravity", that is to say it describes the importance of the
following message. "FATAL" is the highest importance and, indeed,
knowing if your database is up, or not, is of the highest importance,
but it is not a fatal error.
Regards.
