yum won't install anything

BigZee · 05-08-2013, 02:24 PM

Hey guys!

My server is running RHEL4, and i've tried installing apache but it never works. I essentially, can't install anything. Any help?

Sorry, I'm brand new to linux. Heres what I've tried so far, and the output (blue = commands I run):

unless you have extended support for RHELv4, you are outside of its support cycle. upgrade to RHELv6.

I'm hoping someone can help me out of their own personal experience.

As lleb mentioned, RHEL4 is out of support unless you've paid extra for Extended Update support
http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/

Trying to use it is asking for trouble /(as you've seen) and leaves you open to various security vulnerabilities that will NOT be fixed.

Trying to replace the RHEL repos with EPEL+RPMForge is pretty much doomed imho.

If you insist on trying to stick with it, you're best best is to remove those repos (any code installed from them) and try the Vault over at centos (a free version of RHEL) here http://vault.centos.org/.

Use

Code:

uname -a

cat /etc/*release*

to get the correct minor version first, get that updating ok, then allow it to at least update to the last ver 4.9.

Habitual · 05-09-2013, 07:09 AM

or

Code:

yum deplist httpd

if you persist down the path of obsolescence and solitude, or self-abuse?

i did. sorry mate, but RHEL4 is done. if you paid for the support, then contact RedHat, they will be more then happy to resolve your issue, but the first thing they are going to insist on is that you remove all non-standard repos from your system or they will not be able to assist.

That is the RedHat way and rightfully so.

Again, replace your RHEL with either the newest vs of RedHat (RHEL v6.x) and PAY FOR THE SUPPORT like a good user, or format re-install CentOS 6.x and resolve your dependency issues properly.
