It should almost never be necessary to reinstall from scratch.  However, 
that may be the most expeditious route for you.

If the server fails to start, it will almost always print something to 
the errors log file, and that will usually give a pretty good clue about 
why the server failed to start.  Posting those log messages to this 
forum can be very helpful to diagnose problems.  If the log excerpts are 
too long, paste them to pastebin.com and paste the link here.
