Fix

It looks like OpenPBS not work with localhost. So the workaroud is to create a dedicated host pbshost in /etc/hosts with the real IP, e.g

192.168.1.219  pbshost

And then you should change the /etc/pbs.conf to set PBS_SERVER=pbshost

Then you need to stop openpbs, and remove the /var/spool/pbs directory, then run sudo /opt/pbs/libexec/pbs_postinstall again.

Restart your server, then everything will be fine.
