Service not installed on CentOS 7

[AusIV]

On CentOS 7, the package that provides the server is postgresql-server, but only postgres is being installed. This means that the postgres user isn't being created, and the service isn't available to be enabled.

I'll look into this sometime this week.

Just ran into this myself a couple weeks ago-- This is due to Cent packaging putting client binaries in the postgresql package, while the server is in postgresql-server:

# yum search postgresql
...
postgresql.x86_64 : PostgreSQL client programs
postgresql-contrib.x86_64 : Extension modules distributed with PostgreSQL
postgresql-devel.x86_64 : PostgreSQL development header files and libraries
postgresql-libs.x86_64 : The shared libraries required for any PostgreSQL clients
postgresql-server.x86_64 : The programs needed to create and run a PostgreSQL server
...

Not sure if this changed in CentOS 7, and I don't have a CentOS 6 box still around to check.
