[SOLVED] Yum configuration On RHEL7

Ashish Sood · 03-17-2015, 05:31 PM

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to configure yum repository on RHEL7 but getting the below error. Please look into it and help me how to fix it.

[Repository file]

Quote:

[bootserver]
name=rhel7
baseurl=file:///var/rhel7/mount/repo
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

ERROR

Quote:

[root@bootserver yum.repos.d]# yum list
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
file:///var/rhel7/mount/repo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /var/rhel7/mount/repo/repodata/repomd.xml"
Trying other mirror.

One of the configured repositories failed (rhel7),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).

3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
--enablerepo for temporary usage:

yum-config-manager --disable bootserver

4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:

yum-config-manager --save --setopt=bootserver.skip_if_unavailable=true

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from bootserver: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
file:///var/rhel7/mount/repo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /var/rhel7/mount/repo/repodata/repomd.xml

Let me know if something else is required

Thanks,
Ashish

Did you run createrepo against /var/rhel7/mount/repo? Without that command you will not have repomd.xml file unless you have copied repos and it contents as it is from another location.

Yes i ran createrepo on the target location and repodata directory is there.

The location for which it is showing error is:

Quote:

file:///var/rhel7/mount/repo/repodata/repomd.xml

as per your first post.

And the location you have shared now is:

Quote:

/var/rhel7/repo/repodata

So basically your repository file under /etc/yum.repos.d/ is pointing to the wrong location.

Enjoy Linux!!!

solved BUT

this will CAUSE all kinds of problems
mostly unsolvable ones until you buy the support contract

also the install dvd could have been used
just pop it in and yum should find it
but
the install dvd is out of date with the 30 day free trial updates

Glad to hear it's working, but this whole thread is a bit confusing...you say you've got an RHCE, and have been asking about yum for five years now:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...roblem-811858/

Since you're 'certified', shouldn't you know such things? Especially after five years working with it, or at least know how to access Red Hat's knowledgebase, where you can find such things?? And as you've been told several times in the past, you need to PAY FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE. Using RHEL without paying is a bad idea...all you're going to accomplish is to have a system that's insecure, unpatched, unupdated, and more difficult to maintain. What's the point of RHEL without Red Hat support and updates?? Load CentOS instead.
