| If you are trying to install packages then do it with rpms yum may not work.

| Thanks, Anyway I already asked for a temporary ram allocation until I am finished installing the packages I needed yum is easier than searching for rpms

| You can stop some services like mysql and httpd and run yum in case of emergency.

| With a VPS that small you'd be far better off using an apt/dpkg based OS like Debian.
CentOS is not efficient by default and will cause you many problems in such a limited environment unless you optimize the heck out of it.
If you insist on using CentOS/YUM, then installing what you need one package at a time uses less memory than installing several at once - eg: "yum install httpd; yum install php5; yum install mysql" as opposed to "yum install httpd php5 mysql" and so on.

| Try to kill the PID of the running YUM.
And clean the repository using the following command :
# yum clean all
After it, try to run yum again
