Problem while configuring YUM
 

Hi All,
I want to setup an local repositories to distribute .rpm files for users in RHEL-5. I installed yum & created the folder in "/var/pub/ftp/Servers" when i try to access it from client i am getting the below error
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Repository rhel-debuginfo is listed more than once in the configuration
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error Class Info:
You are getting this error because RHN has detected an abuse of
service from this system and account. This error is triggered when
your system makes too many connections to Red Hat Network. This
error can not be triggered under a normal use of the Red Hat Network
service as configured by default on Red Hat Linux.

The Red Hat Network services for this system will remain disabled
until you will reduce the RHN network traffic from your system to
acceptable limits.

Please log into RHN and visit https://rhn.redhat.com/help/contact.pxt
to contact technical support if you think you have received this
message in error.

The .repo file in client is as shown below

bash-3.2$ more /etc/yum.repos.d/Server.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://server.com/pub/Server
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
I have even tried by commenting the gpgcheck line but getting the same error. Also the service VSFTP is running in server and i am able to telnet to it via FTP from the client.
Could some help me to setup an separate repo?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm no RHEL expert at all but there's one thing that jumps out:
The line in bold indicates your repo is NOT enabled. Set it to 1 and try again. Don't know if you have to do a yum clean all first or not.

As it looks from your errors you're trying to connect to RHN instead of your own FTP I imagine. Also, did you disable or rename the other repo files on your local servers, leaving only your FTP repo enabled?

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi EricTRA,

I have made enabled=1, also run the command yum clean all and renamed the original .repo file to .repo-bak and tried.
But then also its trying to connect to RHN instead to my ftp.

In the server the .repo file is as shown below

bash-3.2$ more Server.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/Server
enabled=1
#gpgcheck=0
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release



And in the client the .repo file is as shown below

bash-3.2$ more Server.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://server.com/pub/Server
enabled=1
#gpgcheck=0
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release




Hope now u get clear idea of my config & u can help me.
Thanks.

I think you need the createrepo cmd

etc

Hi,

chrism01 has a good point here. Looks like you didn't set up the repository like it should be. There is no use for a .repo file on the server side. Using the createrepo command as pointed out to you by chrism01 creates a directory with some compressed files and a repomd.xml file which get downloaded and read by the client when connecting to your repository. Follow the guides chrism01 pointed you to and you should be up and running in no time.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi EricTRA & Chris,

No i have used the createrepo and the repodata dir si at the location /var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata inside this i am able to find the files both in Server side & in client side

bash-3.2$ sudo ls -l /var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 170 Jan 18 03:30 filelists.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165 Jan 18 03:30 other.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 Jan 18 03:30 primary.xml.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 951 Jan 18 03:30 repomd.xml

Even then when i give yum update getting the above said error in clint side only.

Thanks
