Unable to install packages from DVD using YUM
 
I get the following errors; when I try to install emacs
Code:

yum install emacs

Loading "rhnplugin" plugin

why not use

yum localinstall <path-to-emacs-RPM-file>

Mr. ameya sathe 08-18-2008 06:02 AM
Operating System: RHEL 5.0

Objective : Create a yum repository on a FTP server. Let the server & any other client install packages using the FTP service.

Now I don't want to copy the whole RPM packages from DVD to the /var/ftp/pub directory.
I want the yum repository to access the mounted DVD.

So; I tried out the following steps->

1. mount /dev/cdrom /media
O/P: DVD mounted on /media

2. createrepo -pv -o /var/ftp/pub/. /media/.

keratos 08-18-2008 07:01 AM
is it not as simple as using automount to mount the CDROM when inserted

and then

create another /etc/yum/repos.d/*.conf file and point set BASEURL to something like file://media/

See post #5 in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ro-dvd-652904/

Or you can just mount the cdrom, cd into the RPM directory and directly install emacs. You can't run createrepo on a mounted read-only cd.

Dependencies are not automatically resolved.

Yes. I did try it. But, it cannot resolve the dependencies automatically. While browsing through the Manual page for createrepo command, I came across these words.

Code:
-o --outputdir <url>
              Optional output directory (useful for read only media).

It should tell you the dependencies though and you can install those manually as well.

As for the other issue, you're trying to plug-in your IP Address in the yum but it can't change to the correct directory probably due to the path. What is the root directory for you serving out FTP from? Did you even try the local repository as described from billmayday to use the local file system and not ftp?

Are you sure that's the correct media name? My CentOS for example is CenrOS_5.0_Final

In post #3 the OP stated he is using RHEL5, not CentOS. ;)

In which directory should I run the createrepo command?
How to enable the client to access these repositories?

I realised that, my point was that the disk name suppled looked like a Fedora name (with spaces) whereas the CentOS has undersores, and that th OP needed to check the name.

That was all

Mr. ameya sathe 08-22-2008 03:18 AM
The Disk name supplied, is correct

billymayday 08-22-2008 03:24 AM
What does

ls "/media/RHEL_5 i386 DVD"

give you?
