Hi!

I've just received a new server, and I've the intention to install Centos7 and PostgreSQL 9.3.5.
After installing the yum repo (as described in http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/), I've installed everything I need with the command

yum install postgresql93 postgresql93-server postgresql93-contrib

Which eventually worked very well.
After that, I've created a /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql-9.3 configuration file (as I used to do in Centos 6.5), and then "service postgresql-9.3 initdb" ! crash, bang, boom.
Wont work, with error:

"[root@localhost pgsql]# service postgresql-9.3 initdb
The service command supports only basic LSB actions (start, stop, restart, try-restart, reload, force-reload, status). For other actions, please try to use systemctl.
[root@localhost pgsql]# systemctl --help
systemctl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND} ..."

So, I've learned that is a new way of doing things... Reading the yum repository documentation, I've learned:

"postgresql-setup initdb
systemctl enable postgresql.service"

Which works partially: it have not taken my /etc/sysconfig/postgresql-9.3 configuration file for path and other things.

Can anyone point me what I've done wrong?

Thanks,

I would say look in the service file and see where is it is looking for
the configuration file and what that file is named. Best guess it is not
the same one you created.
