Hi Team,

I had configured yum in our server RHEL 5.3 but while installing software am getting below error,

[root@localhost ~]# yum install openvpn
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
http://local/path/to/yum/repository/...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: myrepo. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost ~]#

Hi a.abdulna,

It seems like your RHEL 5.3 is not registered in RH. You need to register first your RH.

Here is the comment from chrism01 for pre-requesites in running yum command...

Pre-requisites:
1. It'll need to be connected to the internet
2. you need to have paid the RH subscription for this machine and registered it with RH.
