Log in to the postgresql database to configure the open-project

[root@linuxhelp ~]# sudo -u postgres psql

psql (10.8)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# create database openproject;
CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# create user openpuser with encrypted password 'Linuxc@25';
CREATE ROLE

postgres=# grant all on database openproject to openpuser;
GRANT

postgres=# \q

After configuring the openproject,start and check the service of postgresql service

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl start postgresql-10.service
