Issue using Yum to update / install
 

When I run yum update I get...

This is what I have in /etc/yum.repos.d/

I was having issues with this error, which is why I put hide after the others.
Lastly I have tried running yum clean all and I still have these issues.

You should have 3 repo files by default:

fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo

It might be worth removing all the repo files and reinstalling the fedora-release package from the installation media.

that is not how you turn on or off a repo

open it in gedit and change the "enabled=1" to a "enabled=0 "

and you DO NOT want to turn off "fedora-updates" THAT IS A REQUIRED system file -- you NEED IT !!!

also just posting the constants of that folder is of almost no useable information
you really should use this command

Where on Earth did you come up with that?

[SEVERNAME yum.repos.d]# yum repolist all
Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://s2plmirror01.prod.sdl2.secure...fedora-core-14 error was
14: PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""
repo id repo name status
base Fedora Core 14 - i386 - Base enabled: 0
updates-released Fedora Core 14 - i386 - Base enabled: 0
updates-testing Fedora 14 - i386 - Test Updates disabled
updates-testing-debuginfo Fedora 14 - i386 - Test Updates Debug disabled
updates-testing-source Fedora 14 - Test Updates Source disabled
repolist: 0

I removed one of the Base repo's. Same Error.

do not turn of a BASE repo
it is REQUIRED !!!
" base Fedora Core 14 - i386 - Base disabled"
very big mistake .
Turn it ON

for a DEFAULT fedora install .One that you did not install the recomended extra repos
rpmfusion,rpmfusion-non-free,
these need to be on

base Fedora Core 14
updates-released Fedora Core 14

a python error can mean one of a few things
First yum REQUIRES 100% REQUIRES the EXACT VERSION that is in the fedora base and fedora update repo

if you change it you get a yum python error

did you install some random version of python from some random website ?
did you install some version of python from the fedora "rawhide" ( rawhide currently fedora 16 beta )
Did you install a version of python from a known incompatible repo ( like rpmforge )


and lastly
did you reboot during a everyday "update"

and did you manually edit the mirror lists in the repo files
I do not have the very soon to be DEAD fedora 14 ,in about 30 to 45 days 14 will hit it's END OF LIFE
-- it is time to upgrade to 15 or in a month 16 --

I turned on the other base repo. The error sounded like only 1 base repo was allowed to run.

Where can I find these? rpmfusion,rpmfusion-non-free

This is a virtual dedicated server from Godaddy.

I haven't downloaded anything relating to python. and No, I haven't manually edited the mirrors.

you will have to ask them .As far as i am concerned GoDady has a VERY VERY VERY BAD reputation for support ( like none and on unsupported versions of fedora )

I would NEVER recommend them to anyone ( not even an enemy )

If you do have Root access then install the current fedora 15
but on a server i would NEVER use fedora, it was NEVER meant for that use.

I would use RHEL6 ( or the free CentOS 6 )

but for 14 and IF you do ( a very big if ) have root access
then have a look at

but until you fix yum
you are NOT DOING anything .

The fastest would be to reformat and reinstall , but i do not think you can do that with GoDady

ask them .
