Description

Using a RHEL-5.7_GA-x86_64-3-Hourly2 (ami-83573eea). Would not start postgres
in "ambari-server setup".

Enter advanced database configuration [y/n] ?
Default properties detected. Using built-in database.
Checking PostgreSQL...
Running initdb: This may take upto a minute.
About to start PostgreSQL
ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Unable to start PostgreSQL server. Exiting

So I manually started postgres, and then re-ran setup and it worked...
