Reference Original: http://blog.csdn.net/jcjc918/article/details/11022345

The Python2.6.6 is pre-installed in the VPS and upgraded to 2.7

Upgrade steps:

After the system Python soft links point to the Python2.7 version, because Yum is not compatible with Python 2.7, Yum does not work properly and we need to specify the Python version of Yum

Vi/usr/bin/yum

The file header is
#!/usr/bin/python
Change into
#!/usr/bin/python2.6.6
