Followed instructions here: [http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-and-connect-to-postgresql-on-centos-7](http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-and-connect-to-postgresql-on-centos-7) however getting stuck in applying the changes to Virtualmin:

[quote]  
Webmin \> servers \> postgres \> module config \> system config

```
Path to psql command: 
	/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/psql
Command to start PostgreSQL:
	systemctl start postgresql-9.3
Command to stop PostgreSQL:
	systemctl stop postgresql-9.3
Command to initialize PostgreSQ:
	/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/postgresql93-setup initdb
Path to postmaster PID file:
	/var/run/postmaster-9.3.pid
Paths to host access config file:
	/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf
Path to pg_dump command:
	/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_dump
Path to pg_restore command:
	/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_restore
Default backup repository directory:
	/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/backups[/quote]

```

These are based of the settings I had on my CentOS 6 server - but there doesn’t seem to be a pid on a CentOS 7 install, and virtualmin is complaining that Postgres isn’t running.

Any ideas on how to set it up correctly?
