Yum and Art's conf conguration

I am trying to move from a FC4 box to a CentOS4 box. I copied the yum.conf file from Art's manual config:

[psa-8.0]name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 8.0 RPMSbaseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... easeverES/

but I get this error when running yum:

http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

It seems $releaseES is pointing to "NullES"

Should I change the $releaseES to 4ES on this CentOS 4 box?

When you get that NULL message, that means that yum cant parse the $releasever variable. That generally happens on Red Hat systems that don't support yum correctly. If a CentOS box is doing that, its not a good thing. Something may have been damaged on your OS thats breaking yum. You can certainly hard code around it by setting the path manually with 4ES, but I'd poke around to see if anything else has been damaged on your system.

Thanks Scott,

I'll take a look around just to make sure..

Are you moving to CentOS on the same server or on another server? If on the same server: check if you have the centos-release package installed (and remove the fedora-release package).

It is to a different server, but that was still the problem. For some reason, it was listed as "fedora-release". I changed from fedora-release to centos-release and everything worked as it should.

Thanks
