[SOLVED] CentOS 5.4 missing repositories

artur13 · 03-25-2010, 05:57 AM

Hello,
I have a CentOS install but I have problem with repositories(I guess) because I can install almost basic system programs nothing more. How i can check the repositories list with the url of repo? Are they like in Ubuntu or Debian repo universe etc.? For eg I'm trying to install lighttpd from source but I can't get dependencies from the repo such as headers and more...
Best regards

first check your dns

try nslookup google.com

if work then proceed with
# yum repolist
# yum update yum*

if not work check /etc/resolv.conf

You will have to tell, which packages, you try to install.

To search software, you can use this command :
# yum search <name>
( or part of name.)

The epel.repo contains 5,000 packages for CentOS 5 :
