Have you recently restarted Postgres? If so, you'll need to tail the Postgres logs and watch for a message like "the system is ready to accept connections" before attempting to start Bitbucket. In the future, you can speed up Postgres reboots by issuing the checkpoint command (`psql -c checkpoint`) before stopping that process.
