Unable to start postgresql.service?
I'm using arch linux (4.8.13-1-ARCH). I'm trying to set up PostgreSQL as instructed here.
After performing
[postgres@BitBox ~]$ initdb --locale $LANG -E UTF8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
Data page checksums are disabled.

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.
Success. You can now start the database server using:
pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgres/data -l logfile start
successfully, I returned to the my regular user using exit command.
[postgres@BitBox ~]$ exit
logout
Then, while trying to start postgresql.service, I got the following error:
[code_master5@BitBox ~]$ sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
Failed to start postgresql.service: Unit postgresql.service not found.
I'm not even getting the status of the service:
[code_master5@BitBox ~]$ sudo systemctl status postgresql.service
Unit postgresql.service could not be found.
I'm stuck!
Answer
Try this:
service postgresql-10.service restart
service postgresql-XX.service restart
