Scott Edwards commented on AMBARI-12480:
----------------------------------------

I discovered I had somehow installed an older version of Ambari than I thought I had. This issue is not relevant to the current version.

> Ambari allows possibilities to configure with other databases other than the default installed PostgreSQL, but the default Ambari-Server Setup will start the local Ambari installed PostgreSQL before it even begins Setup.
> In the init script /usr/sbin/ambari-server:
>   setup)
>         echo -e "Run postgresql initdb"
>         initdb_res=`/sbin/service postgresql initdb`
>         if [ "0" == "$?" ]; then
>           echo -e "${initdb_res}"
>         fi
>         echo -e "Run postgresql start"
>         /sbin/service postgresql start
>         echo -e "Setup ambari-server"
>         $PYTHON /usr/sbin/ambari-server.py $@
>         ;;
> I recommend placing a flag on the Ambari install process to allow you to choose installing a local copy of PostgreSQL or decline and continue install without it.
> During setup) PostgreSQL shouldn't start unless Ambari did install a local copy of Postgres, as selected during install. Otherwise, you should have options of specifying database connection information.
