I fixed it by editing the postgresql-14.service PGDATA path to the new directory

Thanks,

But I'm using a different path when I initdb /usr/pgsql-14/bin/initdb -D /home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data so  "/var/lib/pgsql/14/data/" is really empty. Is there a way to point the startup script to the new path  /home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data  ?

The startup script that is calling systemd should perform a `mkdir -p
/var/lib/pgsql/14/data` before calling the PostgreSQL binary.
