You're showing only the debugging information, not the actual error  
message. If you don't see the error, it's probably because it's  
logged into different log file. Many syslogs are configured to write  
"info" messages to different log file than "error" messages. So try  
finding the actual error message from another file. If you can't find  
it, set log_path manually to some file and look there.
