I am having difficulting getting PostgreSQL up and running on my Suse 8.2 server.
 
I get the message:
Starting PostgreSQLpg_ctl: postmaster does not start
 
When I type in pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data start as user postgres it tells me it was successful, but then I am unable to find a postmaster pid in the ps -A listing.
 
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PostgreSQL using Yast to no avail.
 
Any help or suggestions would be useful.
 
Thanks
 
James
