what is missing .please tell me.

Hi

First Copy repo file under /

then install Createrepo

and

Create the repo and grouping the package

Edit repos.d file

then start ..

which repo should i copy?

In RHEL6 there is default repo so first disable it , edit etc/yum/yum.conf and make enable=0 ... i hope in centos6 also has same issue
P.s- i think the path is /etc/yum/yum.conf please check it..

Then you're missing 4 updates already. Current is 5.8.


You're missing another exclusion rule. If temporary, run it manually this way:
or set "enabled=0" in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ repo file that configures the "[c5-media]" section. It's not in /etc/yum/conf and you definitely don't need to install createrepo.
