postgres not starting

[Azimuddin Mohammed <azimeiu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am unable to start postgres on one of the server

I am getting below error "HINT: is another postmaster already running on port 5432, if not wait a few seconds and retry"

I checked the processes nothing is running with postgres

 I think the error caused because I removed everything under /data directory before stopping the server.

Can someone help.
