failed to start PostgreSQL

Post by tan.tab » 2018/06/17 06:46:01

Hi. I've already tried
[root@localhost ~]# sudo service postgresql start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start postgresql.service
Job for postgresql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status postgresql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

What is the problem starting in postgresql database? What should I do now?

I've got the same issue myself, and I've been unable to find a solution anywhere. Using version 9.6

If you're using 9.6 then you're not using the CentOS supplied copy which is 9.2.23. You may need to ask the supplier of that 9.6 for assistance.

Did you look at the output of the suggested commands? Did you look in the postgresql logs under /var/log?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
