Hello, is it possible to install the final updates for CentOS 6? I ran a yum update and I received this message "Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base" I assume it's due to the EOL of CentOS 6?
You can add 6.10 section to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo and after that install all last updates for CentOS 6
Thank you for the response. I added (copied, edited, pasted from the C6.9 section) the following to the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo file but I still get the same error message.
I'm thinking the paths are incorrect in my file because when I try to go to directly to the URL (http://vault.centos.org/6.10/os/$basearch/) I get a "404 Not Found"
[C6.10-base] name=CentOS-6.10 - Base baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 enabled=1
When you tried the url directly did you make the necessary substitutions for "$basearch"? It needs an architecture and then some additional pathing to get to packages.
After adding the C6.10 entries to the Vault repo did you turn off the entries (e.g., set "enabled=" to "0") in the non-vault repos? If you don't yum will still try them. The CentOS-Base.repo is on by default so you'll either need to add the "enabled=" line to each of the entries or otherwise disable the repos.
