| You can download the rpm's from http://rpm.pbone.net/ or compile it directly from the source http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download.ptml
Most probably you must already be having the yum installed in your server

| Did you install yum on the server?

| Even if you try to install it using yum will get same error because there exist a directory named "/etc/httpd/build.xxxx". While installing, it will automatically try to remove that directory using command rm -f not rm -rf . Since rm -f could not remove the directory it exists there and throws this error. You first should remove this directory manually and then try to install.
