I think postgres is already running, try:
You'll need to make sure that the service command is added to your binary $PATH so that you can execute the commands:
Once you can run that, you'll want to run the installer scripts starting from 3-dbservers.

Hi all,

Thanks for support

I tried the command but,

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/service postgresql restart
Stopping postgresql service: [FAILED]
Initializing database: mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log': File exists
[FAILED]
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]
[root@localhost ~]#

the postgresql failed to restart

Are you installing this in a "clean" (aka freshly installed) system? I haven't seen this particular issue on CentOS before.

yes its freshly installed OS

I believe you will probably need to start over, and add /sbin to your $PATH before running the installation scripts. For some bizarre reason CentOS normally includes this, but removes it if you install Gnome.
