The following two services are down in chef-server.
When i try restarting the service it will start and when I check back the status again it will be down again.
down: bookshelf: 0s, want up; run: log: (pid 1249) 5119249s
down: postgresql: 0s, want up; run: log: (pid 1252) 5119249s
Could I get any inputs/help on this to get rid of this issue, why it is happening else let me know if my approach to issue is wrong.
Try a chef-server-ctl tail postgresql and chef-server-ctl tail bookshelf and post the logs.
The below are the logs for both,

2016-11-24_09:18:57.58568 HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
Seems postgres can’t start because something is using the port 5432, you can have a look at what with netstat -anpe - grep ':5432'.
Either it’s a dead process,or you have another postgres on the system using the port, a reboot should clean it up for the first case, for the later, you’re on your own, mixing chef-server with something else is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
