I have just initialized a database with no errors, used the postgresql.conf file from another system running 8.4.2.
Attempted to start and got the fatal error below.
I than ran pgtune and got the same error.
I am not sure what the problem is? Is there more detailed logging than below, or can be turned on?
CentOS release 5.4 (Final) (installed and working)
CentOS release 5.2 (Final) (failing)

This might sound like a strange question, but are the architectures of the servers different? Specifically, is the failing server 32-bit and the working server 64-bit? And what architecture is PostgreSQL built against on the failing server?
