Not sure why that should be a surprising result.  There are a hundred 
things that could be issues, from permissions to missing slashes to a 
PID file that's not getting deleted.  Perhaps I'm a dullard when it 
comes to Linux troubleshooting, but for me it's usually a matter of 
checking the log / forming a hypothesis / making changes / testing / 
repeating until it's all working.
