gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release


pls help me

Please show a copy of the "repo line".

The repo address is supposed to point to a directory
by name " repodata ".

Like :
ftp://192.168.6.1/var/ftp/pub/RHEL5/Server/(repodata)

repoline
 

[myrepo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=ftp://192.168.6.1/var/ftp/pub/RHEL5/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

....and thats a problem? how?

*** The repo address is supposed to point to a directory

So how is the directory structure on this site
ftp://192.168.6.1/var/ftp/pub/RHEL5/Server
? ? ?

... When you create it to be
"ftp://192.168.6.1/var/ftp/pub/RHEL5/Server/repodata/repomd.xml"
( where repomd.xml is an .xml index file in the directory repodata/ )

... Then it will work with this baseurl=
ftp://192.168.6.1/var/ftp/pub/RHEL5/Server
in /etc/yum.repos.d/<file>.repo
.....

Usable /etc/yum.repos.d/<files>.repo for EL5.x, CentOS5.x, SL5.x
are attached ... so you can get an idea about how it works ..
