local yum repository
by Ken Godee 23 Dec '04

23 Dec '04

bit off topic, but.... I've set up my first Centos gateway server and now setting up another server on internal network. I thought it would be nice to use the gateway servers "/var/cache/yum" as a local repository for any internal servers since it would be up to date with the lastest packages and save bandwidth. So... I created a sym link to create a repository through gateways http server, ie. ln -s /var/cache/yum /var/www/html/yum Now internally I can browse the gateways repository with no problem http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons I've set the internal servers yum.conf to, ie. [addons] name=Local - Addons baseurl=http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons/ gpgcheck=0 result.... yum list addons Gathering header info Server: Local - Addons CacheDir: /var/cache/yum/addons Getting header info from server failover: baseURL = http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons/ failover: path = headers/header.info and the just gets stuck there. structure of gateways repostitory... addons/headers/ addons/packages/ addons/header.info ok,so seems yums looking for in the headers dir for the header.info when really in the addons dir. Tried creating s symlink in the headers dir ( ln -s ../header.info header.info) but no go. Any tips, I'm sure I'm missing something simple? or maybe just can't do it how I want to.

Good point -- thanks for the tip. I will take a look at rpmlib bindings.

Yeah, that's how mine worked too, only it used version comparison to handle the case where multiple new updates for the same package appeared simultaneously (which can happen if the script doesn't run frequently enough or a quickie-fix is required.

Mysql B0rked - new install - confused
by Nigel Kendrick 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Hi Folks, I've just done my first two Centos installs, having moved over from WB..er..never mind. I seem to be stuck with mysql - it's not installing; well, on one system it starts but there's no /var/lib/mysql folder or socket file and on the other, mysql just doesn't seem to be there at all. I have done a 'yum remove mysql' and then a 'yum install mysql' on the first system and it's not helped! Can anyone point me in the right direction to put this right. Thanks. NK
