2 rpm -ivh vsftpd*

3. rpm -ivh delta*

4. rpm -ivh createrepo*

5. vi /etc/yum.repos.d/server.repo

[yum-server]
name= This is my RPM store
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/
enable=1
gpgcheck=0

6. createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub

7. yum clean all


After doing all this seps am getting following errors

1.[root@srikar /]# yum update
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
server | 1.3 kB 00:00 ...

2.[root@srikar /]# yum install cron*

Nothing to do.

Please help me out

I believe the option is 'enabled', not 'enable' in your server.repo. If changing that doesn't work, see if the repo shows up under a 'yum repolist'.

Maybe that'll provide clues and we can work from there to identify solution.

hi rayfordj

1.

[root@srikar /]# yum repolist all
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
repo id repo name status
server This is my RPM store enabled: 962
repolist: 962


2.

[root@srikar /]# yum repolist enabled
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
repo id repo name status

but i try to install any package that are in yum list all it gives following error

[root@srikar /]# yum install rsync.i686

Is the package already installed? If so, try with something that isn't already installed. You can use 'yum list packagename' or 'rpm -q packagename' to determine if what you want to install is already installed or not. Depending on if you performed an @everything install or not, may take a few attempts... or you can look at output and pick something.

Maybe try with iptraf. I've used in on occasion to demonstrate or test package installations as it's often not pre-installed on the systems I've been on.

I delete all my old configuration and configured newly

-->mount the media to /media

-->cp -rf /media /var/ftp/pub

-->cd /var/ftp/pub

-->createrepo -v Packages

-->vi /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo

[rhel6]
name=rpm
baseurlr=file:///var/ftp/pub/Packages
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

:wq

# yum clean all

but showing zero repolist

[root@srikar pub]# yum repolist all
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
repo id repo name status
rhel6 rpm enabled: 0
repolist: 0

Note : i already installed

vsftpd, delta , createrepo

On the server try this https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository

you can make your own repository via ftp services: ...

=> First mount your cd
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

=> Move on Mounted packages location -
#cd /mnt/CentOS

=> Install these two packages -
#rpm -ivh createrepo*
#rpm -ivh vsftpd*

#service vsftpd restart
#chkconfig vsftpd on

=> Then copy all packages to your ftp defaults location-
#cp -rv /mnt/CentOS /var/ftp/pub/

=> then go to the packages location-
#cd /var/ftp/pub/CentOS/

=> Type command to create repository database
#createrepo .

=> Then configure yum.repo file
#vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum.repo

[yum]
name=yumserver
baseurl=ftp://"type your server ip"/pub/CentOS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

#yum clean all; yum list all


@@@@@@@@@ yum enables with firewall @@@@@@@@

=> edit the following file
#vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config

-> add the line
#IPTABLES MODULES = "ip_conntrack_ftp ip_nat_ftp"

-> save the file

#service iptables restart

U missed out python-deltarpm package. Try My method (did it in RHEL6, and works flawless), and you'll need to be root for this.

1. Mount the disc, and install vsftpd

2. Create a folder in /var/ftp, and copy all the packages over there (let's assume the folder name is 'abc')

3. cd into folder in terminal, and
rpm -ivh deltarpm*
rpm -ivh python-deltarpm*
rpm -ivh createrepo

4. Then do the createrepo
createrepo /var/ftp/abc

this'll take a couple of minutes

5. Create the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d (any name you're free to choose, just mind the .repo extension, THIS IS NOT A HIDDEN FILE!)
The content should be like this

[REPOSITORY]
name=My Repository
baseurl=ftp://localhost/abc
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0


6. The restart and enable vsftpd service

# service vsftpd restart ; chkconfig vsftpd on

7. Clean the yum data
# yum clean all

8. Then do this
# yum repolist

This should make your repository up and running

This works great for me, and you can also share this repository with other computers in the network, all you have to do is create the .repo in their /etc/yum.repos.d, just in the baseurl, change 'localhost' into your own IP address, and in your computer, allow communication for FTP services from the firewall.

I hope this'll help you!
