Constant Postgres crashing every 10 seconds. Running Mac Mini 2012 server with Mavericks Server

I am gettting a constant crashing of my server Postgres process. It's been continuously populating my log files and it is unusable for things like Roundcube. Here is a snippet of what's in the log files.

This continues throughout the day and does not stop. I forcefully stopped the process with


sudo serveradmin stop postgres


However, I actually want to use the database for Roundcube. Is there any way to fix this?
