Not sure why postgres service would complain about root/jiradbuser at startup
I wonder if it does not try to start other things as well (doubtfull though)
May want to make sure postgres is down and try to start manually using pg_ctl command as postgres , create root and jiradbuser roles , stop and start using systemctl and go from there

Thanks for the link, but I have already browsed much of the JIRA documentation.
I am not able to “Create a database user (login role)” or “Create a database for JIRA” because of the errors starting the PostgreSQL service. I think need to get past the errors first, and I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know what user I should use to create database users or create the database.

Experts:
I’m trying to get PostgreSQL set up to use with JIRA service desk on CentOS 7. I am totally new to PostgreSQL.
I installed PostgreSQL 9.6 and apparently got it enabled with ‘systemctl enable postgresql.service’. When I tried ‘systemctl start postgresql.service’, it fails to start. Postgresql-Mon.log reports “FATAL: role “root” does not exist” and “FATAL: role “jiradbuser” does not exist” because of trying to create those users.
I assume that I need to drop those users if I can figure out how to. Can someone provide some pointers on where to start or what I need to do to move forward? I have a postgres user and group and apparently I need to run some commands as that user if I can get the service to start.
I looked at the documentation but need to get past the startup errors before I can do anything.
