While going through http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Detailed_installation_guides
and typing
service postgresql start
as root I got
"/var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize the cluster first."

When I run
service postgresql initdb
I get
"se:     [FAILED]".
However, /var/lib/pqsql/data is created and user postgres owns it.

But then I run
service postgresql start
and the very same error occurs..

As root:

# mv /var/lib/pqsql/data /var/lib/pqsql/data.old
# service postgresql initdb
# service postgresql start

See what /var/lib/pqsql/data.old contains. Maybe an old DB Cluster?
