hi! I tried to create a local repository for rhce practice. i issued the command "createrepo /var/ftp/pub/gls/RPMS" where all the .rpm files are copied into. The repo was create succesfully and i edited the server1.repo file which i created manually in /etc/yum.repos.d folder.
After changing the path in server1.repo to point to the loc of the .rpm files, the command yum clean all and yum update were run, but the message below was prompted. What has been configured wrongly? Please advise. Thanks.
