Issue with yum server
I am trying to set up a new yum server on VmWare VM on my machine.....
I am done with createrepo in 'Server' (i.e I have created repository successfully)
......but somehow I am not able to install any package and the confusing thing is this the error message it gives pertains to cluster repository ...though I am intreseted only for 'Server' repository.
Any suggestions would be a great help to me .
Pasted below is error message that I get:
-----------------------
[root#server repodata]# yum install dovecot*
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

cluster 100% |=========================| 0 B 00:00
file:///home/dump/Cluster/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for cluster: Damaged repomd.xml file
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: cluster
--------------------------
My repo file is :
--------------
[root#server repodata]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/nks.repo
[server]
name=yum client nks
baseurl=///home/nitesh/CD_contents/mnt/Server
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

You need to add file: to your baseurl line, e.g.:
You appear to have another repo config file that contains the path /home/dump/Cluster/ as a baseurl. Look for it like this:Code:baseurl=file:///home/nitesh/CD_contents/mnt/Server
To get a list of all currently enabled yum repos, do:Code:grep /home/dump/Cluster /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo
Code:yum repolist

Hi atreyu,
The baseurl I wrote was correct [I had pasted the below o/p without the "file: " prefix by mistake in last post ] but yes your 3rd suggestion worked and there was one more .repo file already lying in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ..........it was the template file that comes by default in OS installation.
Once I renamed that file ,my server seems to be working.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
