you should have postgres archiving enabled , can you edit /data/9.6/data/postgresql.conf making sure that :
archive_mode = off
and
max_wal_senders = 0

otherwise you will be getting errors like :

FATAL:  WAL archival cannot be enabled when wal_level is "minimal"
and 
FATAL:  WAL streaming (max_wal_senders > 0) requires wal_level "replica" or "logical"
