             Summary: Usability: Incorrect Postgres dependency causing issues
                 Key: AMBARI-6909
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-6909
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrew Onischuk
            Assignee: Andrew Onischuk
             Fix For: 1.8.0


Using EC2's centos6 image, Ambari fails to start with a: ERROR: Exiting with
exit code 1. Reason: Unable to start PostgreSQL server. Exiting

This is an old problem from 2013:

We really need to fix this. I did what Phillip did in the first link above and
just installed an old postgres and it worked. Also, see the second link and
search for "Maxim Mikheev". We are still hardcoding PG_HBA_DIR =
“/var/lib/pgsql/data/” in our script. That seems dangerous, is there a way to
dynamically determine that?
