Do you have a directory by name /soft/yum/Server on your system? If not you cannot use this url. Add an online repo from RHEL or CentOS...

To make and use a local repo, you should install the createrepo package.

yum install createrepo

Then you can create the repository by adding the path to createrepo command (as root).

createrepo /soft/yum/Server

Then make a file with the repo name in the /etc/yum/repos.d/ folder, which it appears that you already did. Then run this command to update yum to include the local repo rpms.

yum makecache

You now should be able to use yum to install the rpms from the local repo.

[zengmao]

[m@localhost ~]$ cat /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py |sed -n 411p
            remote = '/soft/yum/Server'+ '/' + relative
[m@localhost ~]$

what originally is:

remote=url+'/'+relative

but I think it is not a good way!!!


Is there any way?????
