Installing packages and configuring Servers we need to configure the YellowDog Update Manager (YUM)
First,
1 If its local repository then
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPM -ivh createrepo
createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub/Server
/var/ftp/pub/Server => this is the directory where local copy of RPM packages are there
Edit the Server.repo file
# vi Server.repo
[Server]
name= redhat
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/Server
[enable=1]
[gpgcheck=0]
Save the file and quit
Then,
#yum clean all
#yum update
Now you can install packages
#yum install package-name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 If repository is present in server
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d
#ls
Then it will list the files. There is a file with name rhel-debuginfo.repo. Copy this file to a temp file with name Sever.repo. The starting letter of Server should be Capital.
Second step is given below
#cp rhel-debuginfo.repo Server.repo
The Third and final steps
Edit the Server.repo file
# vi Server.repo
[Server]
[name= redhat]
[baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.254/pub/Server] ( eg: IP address : 192.168.0.254 (the server IP)
[enable=1]
[gpgcheck=0]
Save the file and quit
Then,
#yum clean all
#yum update
Now you can install packages
#yum install package-name
Configuring YUM behind the HTTP proxy
Under Normal Conditions yum dont work if you are suing internet behind proxy
So in yum.conf add
#The proxy server or IP address:port number
proxy=http://proxy.server.com:8080
Below one if you use ( username/password)
proxy_username=userid
proxy_password=password

I am using local disk repository, but getting this error..
"
This is system is not registered with rhn,
Rhn support is disabled,......"
can you give full error details ??
are you getting Error 2 file doesnot exists etc ??
like
[error 5]OSError
[error 2]No such file or direcotry
if you are gettign that error xml file doesnot exists so check it
how to create yum repository with mirror.....when i create local yum repository..so error setting up local process..
Go to http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlists/publiclist/Fedora/8, find a mirror that offers rsync, and download the packages as follows (this can take a long time so be patient):
rsync -avrt rsync://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/ /var/www/html/yum/base/8/i386
(Please make sure you use all slashes (/) as shown above - it must be rsync://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/, not rsync://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages!)
Afterwards, run the createrepo command:
createrepo /var/www/html/yum/base/8/i386
This will create a repodata directory in the /var/www/html/yum/base/8/i386 directory. Its contents should be as follows:
ls -l /var/www/html/yum/base/8/i386/repodata/
[root@server1 /]# ls -l /var/www/html/yum/base/8/i386/repodata/
total 9268

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6487453 2007-12-18 21:11 other.xml.gz

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 951 2007-12-18 21:11 repomd.xml
[root@server1 /]#
To create the repostiory, has to install an rpm createrepo using rpm command.
[root@redhat5 /]# rpm ivh /public/repo/createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.noarch.rpm
Now create the repo uning createrepo command.
[root@redhat5 /]# createrepo /public/repo
2179/2179 - libevent-1.1a-3.2.1.i386.rpm m

Our repo server is ready and now in clients we can add the entry for our new repo. Yum repo entries are added in /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo. It already carries entry for the RedHat ftp repository. We may add one more entry for our repo and disable RedHat repo.
[root@redhat5 ~]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
[rhel]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://172.16.1.22
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
Here the ftp://ipaddress refers to the anonymous root of ftp server which is our repo directory. If the anonymous root is /var/ftp and repo directory is /var/ftp/pub/repo, then thebaseurl will be ftp://172.16.1.22/pub/repo.
Now the server and clients are ready and let test it with xinetd installation.
[root@redhat5 ~]# rpm -q xinetd
package xinetd is not installed
[root@redhat5 ~]# yum install xinetd
