yum server on fedora 16

freedomvikrant · #1 15th April 2012, 01:54 PM

hi there!!!!!!

actually iam able to configure yum server on fedora 13 but it is not working on fedora 16

in fedora 13 i can do it in the following manner:---

firstly i copied all the rpm packages to the any folder say rpm
then i made repo file
after that i went inside the rpm folder then type this cmd rpm -ivh createrepo*
after that i came out of the rpm folder
then type the following cmd createrepo -v /rpm
above procedure works on fedora 13 but onfedora 16 it shows some errors

okey sir,i will try in this manner

sir/mam

i wnat to tell that i can configure a yum server on the fedora 13 but on fedora 16 i cant configure
what is the difference ????

it shows some following erros----------------------------

first errors::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

this thing was taking so much time)

[root@localhost /]# createrepo -v /rpm [here rpm is the folder name where i copied all rpm pcakages]
Spawning worker 0 with 3117 pkgs
Worker 0: reading fedora-easy-karma-0-0.15.20110825git36efb338.fc16.noarch.rpm

second errors:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::

[root@localhost /]# yum install ftp*

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.repo. Please verify its path and try again

this is my repo file::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

[fedora.repo]
name=myrepo
baseurl=file:///rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
~
~

actually i had wasted three weeks

on this thing i already posted some thread regarding this problem even i use fedora documentation but nothing is working

plzzzzzzzz tell me this time that iam layman(this is because iam loosing confidence ) yet iam computer engineering student .

things which seems odd to me :----------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
firstly i copied all rpm packages from fedora dvd under packages folder to /rpms(this is the folder which i created)
then i issued a cmd :---rpm -ivh createrepo*
it goes well

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then just outside of that folder i issued another cmd :- createrepo -v /rpms

it shows some following output:--

Spawning worker 0 with 3117 pkgs
Worker 0: reading gnome-power-manager-3.2.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm

it only create repodata folder under rpms folder and if i open (repodata) then it is empty it is ongoing process

but if u press ctrl+c to break this process it shows some following errors:--

^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 275, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 249, in main
mdgen.doPkgMetadata()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 395, in doPkgMetadata
self.writeMetadataDocs(packages)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 640, in writeMetadataDocs
line = job.stderr.readline()
KeyboardInterrupt

i did this because nothing was going on

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to get rid of above problem i copied repodata folder from the fedora dvd and paste it under rpms

okey now i issued another cmd :==yum install httpd*

it shows following output:--

I usually create a folder, move the rpm files to that folder, run createrepo /folder_name from just outside that folder, and then create the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. Seems to work well.

***glennzo*** · #3 24th April 2012, 01:11 PM

All four posts merged as they are essentially the same.

Create a folder.

PHP Code:


			
mkdir /test

Copy all rpm files to that folder then run

PHP Code:


			
createrepo /test

Create a repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

PHP Code:


			
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo

Add the following to that new repo file

PHP Code:


			
[test]
Name=test
baseurl=file:///test/
enabled=1

Save the file and exit the editor. Run

PHP Code:


			
yum repolist

You should see your new repo listed with the others.

thank you sir thank u very much

actually i made mistake at when i isssued the cmd createrepo /rpms
after this cmd it takes at least 5 -10 minute but here i was thinking that nothing is happening i just break the process by ctrl+c that was my istake i should continue this process..

u were also right in ur first reply as well ur second reply i dint use ur second reply becuase first worked

When I created my Fedora 14 repo createrepo took more than an hour working though more than 25000 files.
