Ah... ok.
In /var/lib/pgsql you will find a file called pgstartup.log
Could you post here last lines of this file ?

But the server restart has failed; I am yet to make the changes
suggested by you in the first instance.

Thank you for your message. But am in another problem now.
In between I also tried to restart the server with 'service
postgresql restart'
It stopped the server, but then server start failed.
Had restarted earlier also, without a problem.
What should I do?
