It looks like a linux system. Or which OS do you use?
Do you tried to start PG as root (because of the #)? Are you sure root
is allowed to start it? Is root superuser?
Try to start it as user postgres.
all installed locales will listen by:
$ locale -a
I have no french locale installed on my debian system, but you will get
a list like this:
C
de_DE@euro
de_DE.iso885915
de_DE.iso885915@euro
When I run locale, that list will diplayed:
$ locale
LANG=de_DE@euro
LANGUAGE=de_DE:de:en_GB:en
It is the same, as your list. Only fr_FR (France) instead de_DE
(Germany).
So I am sure, the problem is, that you tried to start postgresql as root
and not as superuser. The standard superuser is postgres.
Try this:
tux2:~# su postgres
postgres@tux2:~$ /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 start
