RHEL 5.7 Yum configuration local source [Errno 2] No such file or directory

RHEL 5.7 Yum configuration local source [Errno 2] No such file or directory

When configuring the YUM local source on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7, you encounter "Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory xxxx ", it took some time to figure out the ins and outs of errors. Record:

Copy the CD image of RedHat 5.7 to the/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc directory and configure the rhel-media.repo file, as shown below

[Root @ DB-Server yum. repos. d] # rhel-media.repo more
[Media]
Name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7
Baseurl = file: // mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc
Enabled = 1
Gpgcheck = 0
Gpgkey = file: // mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

After the yum clean all command is executed, the following error occurs when yum makecache is executed:

[Root @ DB-Server yum. repos. d] # yum clean all

File: // mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/repodata/repomd. xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/repodata/repomd. xml'
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd. xml) for repository: media. Please verify its path and try again
[Root @ DB-Server yum. repos. d] #

The root cause of this error is that the path of the rpm package in RHEL 5.x and RHEL 6.x is different:

RHEL 5.x: ../Server for example: in my case, the environment is located under/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server.

RHEL 6.x: ../Packages

Therefore, the above baseurl parameter settings are incorrect. We can solve this problem in two ways:

Method 1: configure the correct baseurl parameters.

[Root @ database-Server yum. repos. d] # vi rhel-media.repo
[Media]
Name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7
Baseurl = file: // mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server
Enabled = 1
Gpgcheck = 0
Gpgkey = file: // mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Method 2: run the createrepo command to create a local source directory and direct it to the directory specified by baseurl.

[Root @ DB-Server] # rpm-ivh createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm
