Hello all, So here is my problem. I did some searches online about this and was a bit confused with regard to something. There error I get when I run yum begins with " file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml" I'll include the full error log below. When I did some searching online, it said to check the yum.conf file. When I do that, inside /etc When I open that file, and scroll down, it says that I need to add the repos to that file or to add them to add them to files named file.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d Those repos do exist and as example, here is what I see in the file virtualbox.repo which is /etc/yum.repos.d/ The contents of that file are: [virtualbox] name=Oracle Linux / RHEL / CentOS-$releasever / $basearch - VirtualBox baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/$releasever/$basear ch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc
So, from the error log below, can I put this: base: mirror.cogentco.com c6-media: centosplus: mirror.dattobackup.com contrib: mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net extras: centos.aol.com rpmforge: mirror.us.leaseweb.net updates: mirror.symnds.com
into the /etc/yum.conf just as it appears in my copy and paste just above? And then it might work? Still curious why it didn't work with the files.repo respository files. Ok, the full error listing is next, thanks in advance for any help:
