Check if the folder:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/
contains other files named like "postgre*.service".

If there is nothing then:

Code: [Select]

rm -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service
systemctl enable postgresql.service
systemctl start postgresql.service

In other case show us the list of other "postgre*.service" files.
