[SOLVED] client not accessing yum server .

gardenair · 11-11-2011, 05:49 AM

thanks for guiding. I does not use now iso file. with "deep27ak" method I try but it does not work so I just keep all things inside the directories as i previously do .I think it does not matter that u keep things in the root or make sub directories.

Ok I copy all rpm files from my dvd to

var/ftp/pub/server

and then use createrepo for the above path.

Under /etc/yum.repos.d I create a new file i.e server.repo

Code:

[server]
name=Centos Repo
bauseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/server
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

then

Code:

#yum clean all
#yum update
#yum list

For ftp

Code:

#vi vsftpd.conf
anon_root=/var/ftp/pub/server

Now start the # service vsftpd restart

On client side
Under /etc/yum.repos.d create a new filei.e server.repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/client.repo
[client]
name=client
baseurl=ftp://192.168.1.10/pub/server/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

In the browser when i try

ftp://192.168.1.10/pub

it does not show any thing. But by clicking "Up to hirelevel directory" two times I can see all rpm files as "deep27ak" show in the attachment

i.e

Code:

ftp://192.168.1.10/../../

The issue is now why it does two times up to the directories and show the rpm file?
Actually the couuect way was by just typing in the browser ftp://192.168.1.10
but here nothing.

on the client side

Code:

baseurl=ftp://192.168.1.10 ------------->make this correction

you don't need to type ftp://192.168.1.10/pub

this is the reason we mentioned

Code:

anon_root=/var/ftp/pub/server --------> this will land your anonyomus user by default to this directory

Now if everything works fine kindly mark the thread as solved

I believe on one thing "Fail does not mean that u can not do something,Fail is a one step ahead to achieve the success.

I am extremly thankfull to "deep27ak" for his help regarding to solve my issue as well linuxquestions.org that they give us a plateform to share our knowledge.

I even was also confuse that why things are not going ok .

I try the same thing with RHEL 5 & every things goes smothly.With same things I do with centos5 i see different experience.I does not know why !

As to my questions my problem have been solved but i want to do two more questions regarding to yum server.

1- I can see all of my rpm files in the web browser using GUI interface.If i am in run level 3 then how the client will access the ftp & see the list of rpm files ?

2- We say that it is a yum repository but these are like foo.rpm files ! When i will install any software package it will also install its dependencies ?regards

1. Being a newbie I prefer using linux in CLI always rather than GUI

Code:

# ftp 192.168.x.x
Connected to 192.168.x.x.
220  
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
Name (192.168.x.x:root): anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>ls
(see your output)

Code:

ftp>get (file name u want to download)
ftp>quit

2.if you don't want the dependencies to be installed use "rpm"

But a software is build using a bunch of small packages which we refer as dependencies without the presence of which you would not be allowed to proceed the installation

So we prefer "yum" over "rpm"
