A good start would be to read the logfile. A lot of startup problems can be solved from the messages within. It could be something as simple as trying to start PG as root.

I've installed postgres 7.3.3 on one of my debian machines. On other installations postgres is started automatically on machine bootup. However, on one installation it fails to do so. In fact, it doesn't appear that PG tries to start at all durring the bootup process. I'm still relatively new to linux, but from my understanding, I need to be looking in the /etc/init.d directory for boot setup information. Does anyone know of a good reference I could learn more about how the linux bootup process works, and how to trouble shoot this particular problem? Thanks in advance for the help
