hi,



can you cat and post the content of the "dries" and "livna" repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/?

and tell us more about your network. are you behind a proxy? can you access the NET with your browser? can you use wget to download some stuff from the net?

[daark.child]

How did you install yum? The reason I ask is because you should not have had to do this because YUM is installed by default in Fedora Core 7.

hi,


for information about proxy servers have a look at this
proxy server

from the wget output it looks like you are behind a proxy. if there is somebody administrating your network ask him if there is a proxy and the address of the proxy and port.

in Fedora 7 yum is installed by default so i dont know how come you had to install yum by yourself.

and from your /etc/yum.conf i see the following

# This is the fedorafaq.org yum.conf for Fedora Core 5.
#
# Note that you also need the rest of the configuration
# as described at The Unofficial Fedora FAQ

can you tell us how you installed yum please

[sumeshkk]

thank u,thank u,......... very much for ur quick replay
i downloaded the yum package and compiled and installed it shows no error during installation.did i want to tick yum package(if there) during fedora installation to install it? is that i may forgot to tick that .i am a newbie so sorry for my errors
is my isp can give proxy? or is there any way to find out my proxy's ?.if i got it how can i fix my yum configuration with that?

[sumeshkk]

how i can install the yum installed by me? and how i can get the default yum from my fedora cd?

can you please give us the link from where you downloaded yum(and the file you downloaded).

i havent installed fedora for a while but i dont think you have to tick anything to get yum installed.

if you connect to the NET through a router your ISP gave you, you dont likely use a proxy but still we need to know the structure of your network. can you describe it please

if you have a proxy then you cannot access the NET without configuring firefox to use the proxy. so if after installing fedora you just could use firefox without any adjustment then you dont have a proxy.

now if you have a proxy we will show you how to set up yum to go through the proxy.

dont try to uninstall yum yet. lets try to find what version you have.
run the following command and post the output

rpm -q yum python python-elementtree python-sqlite \
python-urlgrabber rpm-python

[sumeshkk]

thank u.
i am contng net through the router that the isp gave me,
getting the following o/p by running that comnd

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q yum python python-elementtree python-sqlite \
>
yum-3.2.0-1.fc7
python-2.5-12.fc7
package python-elementtree is not installed
package python-sqlite is not installed
[root@localhost ~]# python-urlgrabber rpm-python

i googled with "yum downloads" then i got the link, i dont remember that link i think it from download.fedora.redhat.com if u want i can upload it to any file sharing site
waiting for your replay

[sumeshkk]

the yum files i downloaded is
yum-2.0.7.tar.gz,
yum-3.2.0-1.src.rpm,
yum-3.2.14.tar.gz,
yum-3.2.14-1.src.rpm,
