create epel repo

Hello,

I'm running redhat 6 on a VM workstation.
I'm trying to create epel repo:

#yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epe...6-8.noarch.rpm

The following message has received:

Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-m0v0x2/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm: does not update install package.
Error: Nothing to do.

I also tried:
# wget http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/6/i38...6-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

The following message displayed:
epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm already installed.

But I can't install things such as:
yum install phpmyadmin.

Thanks,
Yarok

It states that epel is already installed.

Can you please post the output of the following commands?

Code:

ls -la /etc/yum.repos.d/

cat /etc/yum.conf

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel*

I had the epel installed but I delete it from the /etc/yum.repo.d/ directory.
Now I have only the local repo I have created.

If you removed the epel.repo file manually, the RPM database has not been updated and it believes the package is still installed. Try to remove it and then reinstall:

Code:

yum remove epel-release

yum localinstall epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Well, you right!
I delete the DB as well and re installed the epel repo as you instructed.

Now I try to install phpmyadmin and it gives the following message:

Error: Pachage: phpMyAdmin-3.5.8.2-1.el6.noarch (epel)

requires" php-mysql >= 5.2.0
requires" php-mbsring >= 5.2.0
You could ty using --skip-broken
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Install it with yum to install it's dependencies:

Code:

yum install phpmyadmin

If that fails, there are possibly some excludes in your yum.conf.

yum install phpmyadmin gives the above:

Error: Pachage: phpMyAdmin-3.5.8.2-1.el6.noarch (epel)

requires" php-mysql >= 5.2.0
requires" php-mbsring >= 5.2.0
You could ty using --skip-broken
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Please see /etc/yum.conf:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Can you please post the output of the following commands?

Code:

ls -la /etc/yum.repos.d/

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/*
