Hello all,
I got past the yum install, ran initdb but running into errors when starting service. Do you have to login as user postgres to start the service? THANKS I am on RHEL 6.5 and don't know the postgres user password. service postgresql9.4 start postgresql9.4: unrecognized service -bash-4.1$ service postgresql start postgresql: unrecognized service -bash-4.1$ sudo passwd postgres [sudo] password for postgres: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for postgres: Sorry, try again.
