I was having the same issue (and posted about it today, with full steps). I'd reply to my current post to list but I don't seem to receive my own posts.
I have since taken these steps (as root)
$ su - postgres -c "dropdb engine" $ su - postgres -c "psql -c \"create user engine password '<PASSWORD>'\"" $ su - postgres -c "psql -c \"create database engine owner engine template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8'\"" $ engine-backup --mode=restore --scope=all --file=engine-20140211-1457.tar.bz2 --log=engine-backup.log --change-db-credentials --db-host=localhost --db-port=5432 --db-user=engine --db-name=engine --db-password=<PASSWORD> Restoring... Rewriting /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf Note: you might need to manually fix: - iptables/firewalld configuration - autostart of ovirt-engine service You can now start the engine service and then restart httpd Done.
$ engine-setup
I believe I initially created the database incorrectly (ran 'createdb engine' as postgres user). I was getting errors during engine-setup that indicated the database could not be accessed.
After the steps above, everything looks good.
Good job. Thanks for the report! -- Didi
