Hi

I have installed Redhat Enterprise 6.2 and im having real problems using YUM, everything seems to say its not found and "Nothing to do" for normal apps like vncserver and ftp and telnet.

How or where to i get the normal repo's from so i can start installing all the normal stuff?

Thanks

Chris

Did you pay for it? If not, then you will need to manually download the needed rpm's, since it will not be a paid service, and you will not have access to the normal repositories.

Hi

I paid for it, what options do i have with paid for?

I like yum because it usually just installs and finds dependencies..

Thanks

Chris

Could you post the currently active repositories on your system for me? They should be located in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Hi
I have the following, but i copied them from my rhel 5 server that was already setup by someone else and i just replaced the /5/ with /6/ on the URL's which seemed to work but im not getting great results!

epel.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
epel-testing.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
opsview.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
redhat.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
rhel-debuginfo.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
rpmforge.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo

Thanks

Chris

And that, my friend, may be your problem.... You can't just expect to change something without knowing if it even exists. I would pick any file you did this to, open it in a text editor, and copy/paste the url into a browser, and see what it gives you. Take it from there, and see what you need to change in order to get it to work.

I dont really understand why there is not just a set of repo's that i can install or put into this directory which will give me what i need.

So if this was a new installation of redhat enterprise where would i get the repo's from to add here as i had nothing in this folder before i added these and it as got me a few things installed.

Thanks

Chris

I only added about 4 of them the rest just added themselves after an update..

also i did test the urls were working..

I get no errors just not much software is available..

Well hold on a second... What exactly are you entering on the command line?

Well, if you paid for it and are having problems, why don't you call RedHat support?? You're paying for that too, and since this is a problem with your paid-for system, they will certainly help you with it, and be able to walk you through how to fix it.

Here's a crazy thought: why not get the official Red Hat repos working first, before you go adding epel and rpmforge to the mix?

and why did you install the FEDORA in development 'rawhide" repo on a RHEL server!!!
they are two DIFFERENT systems
and are NOT compatible .
