There are a lot of shoddy start scripts running around :-(.  Yours is
probably dumping the postmaster's stderr output to /dev/null, so
whatever error message it puts out about being unable to start is
just vanishing.  Or, if you're lucky, stderr is being sent to a logfile
you can look at.  I'd suggest modifying the script if necessary so that
you can see what the postmaster is complaining about.
