It seems unlikely that *nothing* is being logged - PG is usually good at
that. Check your logging configuration settings, and see what you get
with ssl = false, then try again with ssl = true.

If you genuinely have nothing being logged, the failure must be very
early in the startup sequence. Try starting it from a command-prompt -
you should see an error message then.
