Subject: [NOVICE] Starting PGSQL

Hi all,

The following may be too silly even for this mailing list... but however:

i've never used PostgreSQL before, always been using MySQL.

I installed postgresql-8.0.1, but when trying to run it, i get:

[root@linux local]# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]
[root@linux local]#
[root@linux local]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]

also tried the restart argument, but didn't work.

My question is the following: how can i run the debug and find the error, or better yet, how can i run it :) ??

Thank you,

Marc
