Failed to start postgresql service

[kuttysam]

Hi,
I installed postgres using the script

/scripts/installpostgres

But the following error occurs...

This script installs PostgreSQL 7.4.x or later.
If your system runs an older version of PostgreSQL, you must
dump your databases to a file, and then restore them after
installation.
PostgreSQL 7.4.x is NOT backwards compatible.
If no PostgreSQL databases exist on your system, run the
following command to force the creation of a PostgreSQL 7.4.x -style
setup:
        mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old
        /sbin/service postgresql stop
        /sbin/service postgresql start

Do not run this command if databases exist that you wish to keep!
Are you certain that you wish to proceed? [y/(n)]:y
