* Postgresql-8.4 won't boot at startup on 9.10

I have just moved to rackspacecloud and created a Ubuntu 9.10 server.
Moved everything over all fine (7-10 wordpress sites). Now I have a
couple rails apps that need to move over and run on postgresql 8.4.
I installed postgresql via sudo apt-get as per usual. Usually at this
point the postgresql server starts up and I can forget about it. But
no luck. I booted it by running /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start. When
I run that command it boots fine, I can connect via psql no trouble.
I rebooted the machine to see what happened. After boot, apache and
mysql started just fine, wp sites came up nicely no trouble.
postgresql wouldn't start up.
I have tried installing from source, I have tried using different
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 scripts. I have no idea what to do.
I have downgraded to upstart to 0.6.3-10. I have apt-get updated,
upgraded. I have Googled. I have pushed and pulled.
Usually with any linux issue in the past I have been able to find a
solution on the net or work it out myself. This one stumps me to no
end.
The other irritating part is that while I wait to work out this issue
I am still paying for my old server running my Rails apps.
Anybody have any clues? Solutions? Experience? Cheers!

Will PG start at all? Manually, even? I'd say "go back to clean," first of all
by removing your from-source install, and reinstall the apt-get packages.
At that point, can you start postgres at all? If not, what do you system logs
and postgres startup logs say?

Usually, just installing a package is not enough to make it autostart
at boot --- if that were true then people could never safely "install
everything". I think you missed a step. On Red Hat systems you'd need
something like "sudo chkconfig postgresql on"; probably Ubuntu is
similar.

Look up the update-rc.d command. It's what's used in debian and
ubuntu to setup services to run or not run on boot etc.

This is not true for debian and ubuntu.

sorry for the first reply.
On debian and ubuntu update-rcd is usually run when installing new
packages. 8.4.2-0ubuntu9.10 installes fine here and creates all the links
in /etc/rc*
Please check if they exist:
ls /etc/rc*/*postgres*
