That's not the postmaster's log, that's just pg_ctl saying it managed
to find and exec the postmaster.  I speculate that you are sending
the log to /dev/null which is why you cannot find out anything
about what's wrong.

You might try invoking the postmaster manually:

    postmaster -D whateveritwas

which should let the error message come out on your terminal.
