Installing and setting the YUM source in RHEL 5.0 can solve the dependency problem during software installation.

The basic steps are as follows:

1. Attach a cd

Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt # mount the disc to the mnt under.

2. Modify the YUM file.

The YUM file location is as follows/etc/yum. repos. d/rhel-debuginfo.repo

Cp/etc/yum. repos. d/rhel-debuginfo.repo my. repo # copy and name it my. repo

Vi my. repo # Use the vi editor to modify the my. repo file, as shown below:

[Rhel]

Name = Red Hat # based on your actual situation

Baseurl = file: // mnt/Server # Because we use a file, it is file: // because it is in the root directory, there will be three/

Enable = 1 # important, must be changed to 1, otherwise it is unavailable

Gpgcheck = 1 // This row will not change later.

Save and exit

3. Install createrepo and vsftpd

Cd/mnt/Server/

Rpm-ivh createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.noarch.rpm

Rpm-ivh vsftpd-2.0.5-10.el5.i386.rpm

4. Copy the Server directory under the CD to/var/ftp/pub, because the yum source service will be provided for all Linux clients in the network in the future, so the FTP service is used.

Cp/mnt/Server/var/ftp/pub

5. regenerate the group file and dependency

Createrepo-g/var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml/var/ftp/pub/Server # Use the absolute path here.

The YUM source has been set up. The verification process is as follows.

 

Yum clean all

Yum list all

Yum-y install dhcp. I * # install dhcp to test whether it is successful.

If the following message is displayed, the group and dependency are incorrectly generated. Please generate a new one.
