Error trying to install postgresql-server

[bmcclure]

I am trying to use postgresql on my server, since sqlite databases don't seem to work at all and I want to get Trac running.

I'm on a Virtuozzo VPS with CentOS 5 (fully up to date).

So anyway, I am getting a scriptlet error when trying to install postgresql-server-1.1.11 with yum. Here are the full results:

Complete!

UPDATE: By the way, same result with /scripts/installpostgres... The script for some reason thinks it was successful but it skips with the same error.

That suggests a problem with the mounting of /tmp

Try doing this:

umount -l /tmp
umount -l /tmp

Once /tmp is truly unmounted, try doing the install again.

After install complets, remount tmp:

/scripts/securetmp --auto
