I just installed postgresql 9.1 on my ubuntu server precise I installed postgres on an ubuntu workstation before and despite following the same steps (documented) nothing works.
When i do :
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
There is no message at all, and there is no postgres process running. The /var/log/postgres/ folder exist but it's empty. How can i know what is wrong with my postgres?
EDIT : nothing relevant in var/log/messages
/var/log/messages
that will give you a hint?pg_lsclusters
? If it's empty, that would explain why the init script starts nothing without any error.
