Btw, the default file is FAILING. The server does not restart.

How can I check what the problem is? I don't see any errors at least
on the command line.All I see is:


> service postgresql restart
Stopping postgresql service:                               [  OK  ]
Starting postgresql service:                               [FAILED]


Thanks!
