Open a terminal window and execute:

rpm --qa  |  grep  postgres

you will get a list of postgresql packages

With root permission please execute:

  service  postgresql  start

During the first startup all necessary files are created
(in /var/lib/pgsql/data).

You may then check the configuration and modify it according to your
needs.

Execute a service postgresql restart after any modification.

Dont't forget a "chkconfig  postgresql on" (or use the gui in system -A
administration -> services) if you wish to start postgresql
automatically at boot.
