Hi folks,

I have some problems during creation of a yum-repository:
My target is to create 2 repositories:
1. my mounted RHEL 6.3 DVD
2. rpm-directory /home/matze1966/Downloads/rpm

My 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
[repositoryid]
name=RHEL6_Repositories
baseurl=file:///home/matze1966/Downloads/rpm/
file:///media/RHEL_6.3%20x86_64%20Disc%201/Workstation/
enabled=1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After editing yum.conf I make a yum update.
When I want to install a packet with
yum install <packetname> I receive the message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repository InstallMedia is listed more than once in the configuration

Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where is the error in my yum-configuration? Is file:///<path> the wrong way? Should I replace file:/// with dir://<path> ?
I don´t know what to do. Can you help me please?

Greetings,

Well it say it's there twice, that sounds pretty self explanatory. check other files in the yum.repos.d directory and also the main yum.conf

You will also need to run the createrepo command on /home/matze1966/Downloads/rpm if you wish to use that as a YUM repo.

also you DO NOT want to use the install dvd as a repo
it is out of date
It is recommended to use the red hat RHN repo

that has the up to date programs in it

also you DO NOT want to edit the rhn"main" repo to point to the dvd


that repo file is already ON the install dvd
it is called "installmedia.repo" or something like that
