The log files in .../data/ are probably your transaction logs.

Log files for you to read are probably in /var/log. There are two ways to log
using PostgreSQL:

1. Via syslogd (if you've made the settings in postgresql.conf)
2. To a file (by redirecting output on startup)

See the Administrator's Guide, sections 3.3,3.4,8.4 for more details.
