do you have postgres installed
is the service running
I have done it using mysql
This is what I have done, prior to alfresco custom install
I have installed mysql-server
created databse alfresco
created mysql user alfresco
gave permission (grant all ) to user alfresco for database alfresco

Then after alfreso installation downloaded mysqljava driver  to tomcat/lib (if you are using postgresql u dont need to do this, postgresql java driver is there by default )
Try out similar method for postgresql , in case if you are selecting postgresql

I had the same and was able to fix this by uninstalling (/etc/init.d/alfresco stop ; rm -rf /opt/alfresco-<version>), then disabled selinux (edit /etc/selinux/config ; set mode to disabled ; reboot), then restarted the installer. Also, in the process, I removed the firewall rules with iptables -F.
