Hi all
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4), but have a problem which
the Red Hat company does not support. Since RHEL is a closely related
with Fedora, I would like to ask your favor.
I need to install yum on my RHEL4 workstation.
I installed yum2.0.7, which appears to be succeeding in.
Then I conducted “yum check-update” but got error messages as follows;
--------------------
# yum check-update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Red Hat Linux 4WS - x86_64 - Base
retrygrab() failed for:
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/4WS/x86_64/headers/header.info
Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/4WS/x86_64/headers/header.info
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error >
--------------------
I understand that the URL may be wrong in the setting. Even if so, I do
not know what is proper URL.
Please tell me proper setting.
Followings are the current contents of
/etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/
[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/
Best regards,
Mark
