I've installed redhat enterprise 3 on a system to use as a db server. Manually I can install and run postgresql 7.3 (the one on the extras CD). The problem is when you try to add postgres as a service, it might add it, but it will not start it. To do this, we got a postgresql script, placed it in the init.d folder with all the other service shell scripts, and then went into services, add service, and typed postgres. The specific error received is:
env: /etc/init.d/postgres no directory or file found
Try "postgresql" instead of "postgres".
You could also use chkconfig to set up the service -- see `man chkconfig`, but I think you want something like:
chkconfig --level 3 postgresql on
This would add postgresql as a service to be started for you when booting to run-level 3.
To manually start the Postgres service, do: /etc/init.d/postgresql start
HTH,
