Description

Migration to systemd instead of initd began in Fedora 15 and the postgres version changed to 9 in Fedora 16. As a consequence, in Fedora 16+ the postgres initdb commands have changed and the /usr/sbin/ambari-server.py script cannot initialize the database.

Fortunately, there is a Fedora project (cumin) which has dealt with this exact issue from a shell script and should yield a patch
