Trying other mirror.
Error: failed to retrieve httpd-2.2.3-11.el5.i386.rpm from local

Configuration of repo as below:
[root@server1 yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/server1.repo
[local]
name=local repository
baseurl=file:///rpm/

In the "/rpm" , I keep all rpm package in Redhat CD.

Have you created the local mirror using createrepo???

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/createrepo/
createrepo-0.4.8-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

From the /rpm directory after installing createrepo type; createrepo /rpm

Try again when done.

The error is quite accurate of the issue:

<urlopen error unknown url type: media>

You can't use file:// as the url in your repo configurations. I believe the only supported url types are http, ftp and rsync for yum repositories.

Errr...........Yes one can, here is an example of the CentOS-Media.repo file (part of the installation);

Code:

# CentOS-Media.repo
#
# This repo is used to mount the default locations for a CDROM / DVD on
#  CentOS-5.  You can use this repo and yum to install items directly off the
#  DVD ISO that we release.
#
# To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too:
#  yum --enablerepo=c5-media [command]
#  
# or for ONLY the media repo, do this:
#
#  yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=media-c5 [command]
 
[media-c5]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
        file:///media/cdrom/
        file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-beta

Strange it would output unknown url type then in the error. Definitely not an issue with headers and such then according to the error. Is the redhat cd mounted at or on /rpm? But then again, I find it kind of silly to use yum to install packages locally on a machine. Just cd into the directory and install it with just rpm command. If it complains about dependencies, install those as well.

I understand but some don't know any better or another way except to use yum. Using yum with a local yum repo is a good idea (both for the host system and any clients), after all updates do happen and the CD/DVD media rarely gets updated.

Also I forgot to provide this link in my earlier reply;

Dear All,

Thank you for your suggest.
The Cause of problem:
I used to createrepo command and then I try to clean repo by "yum clean all" command.

Now, I use "createrepo" command again and try to install by yum.
Result is same.It still can not install rpm package by yum command.

*Note In the rpm directory , I copied all package into all Redhat CD to rpm directory.

[local]
name=local repository
baseurl=file:///rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

THIS IS YOUR CONFIGURATION file.just change name
[local] to [LOCAL] it will solve your problem

Lenard · 01-30-2008, 05:11 AM

Hmmm......... mine looks like very much like yours;

Code:

[local-media]
name=Red Hat-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///RHEL5
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0

If I want something from this local repo installed:
yum install foo --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=local-media

bbfuller · 01-30-2008, 05:32 AM

Is it something to do with the final / in the OP's config line?

baseurl=file:///rpm/

In my setup, when I have the repomod files in the folder along with the rpm's this works:

baseurl=file:///mnt/fedora8_386_updates

invent · 01-30-2008, 07:41 AM

Hello akhil.mud ,

Changing [local] to [LOCAL] won't solve this problem. It's just the name given that the yum will show. I've given it name as [MY DVD].
Solution to your problem lies in changing baseurl=file:///rpm/ to
baseurl=file:///rpm , i.e. drop last / as whatbbfuller said
