Error using Mandrake's 10.1 update utility

[K7MAG]

Hmm - My system does not contain httpd in the /etc file.

I'm running Mandrake 10.1 Official and have just reinstalled it and previously had no problems downloading the updates. This has to do with the new Name of Mandriva but can not find the file where the address is kept for the updates.
I'll look through the system and see if it can be located. Tks for the help.

Ok guys - got it fixed.

On Mandrake 10.1 Official the file to look at is located under
usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl5/5.8.5/rpmdrake.pm.

I changed the www.linux-mandrake.com to www.mandrivalinux.com/mirrorsfull.list and it works. Tks for help.

Now is this must to make membership on mandrake or mandriva club?

If you made a username and password at the end of your Mandrake installation you can enter it here. Don't worry, you don't have to pay for membership.

If you created one during the installation but forgot the password you can go to http://www.mandrivaclub.com/ and click on 'lost password' to get a new one.

Which user name and password should I use to register ?

Where do I register pl. Is it the one obtained at ?

thanks.

Are you using KDE? If you are you can use kedit, kwrite, kate .. etc

Or at a konsole you can use vi

vi /etc/httpd/2.0/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/rpmdrake.pm

vi is a powerful editor but can seem a little daunting if you've never used it before. "man vi" to learn how to use it.

Hey guys, I see you have solved the problem already. But I have one more thing to say (perhaps you forgot it), but you can updato your "Update Mirrors" with EasyUrpmi on the website: http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and then do the Update !

Thanks all, I got it working, and bookmarked that site http://easyurpmi.zarb.org as well
