Hi, all.

I'm trying to install the EPEL repo on a fully up to date CentOS 6.4. I'm using wget to download from my usual source but after I install it via `sudo rpm -ivh epel-xxxxx` it's not actually there in `/etc/yum.repos.d`.

Trying to install it again, Yum just tells me it's already installed.

I've no idea where it is installed if it is (which I don't think it is) so I'm stumped.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

What does this say on your system?

yum list epel-*

-wes

Hey Phil,

If the file: /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo is not on your system then you can be sure that the EPEL repo is not installed correctly on your system.

By now the locate database will have been rebuilt. Try:

[mlapier@mushroom yum.repos.d]$ locate epel.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

If that fails to find your wayward file then you can be sure that EPEL repo did not install. If you do manage to find the epel.repo file just move it to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

If it's not on your system at all then you have to force install with yum.
