up2date on RHEL 4

I have a Planet server running Plesk 8.1 and RHEL 4. I have setup the yum paths in my RHEL sources for up2date and when I try to run it I get the following error:

up2date -l
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was:

An HTTP error occurred:
URL: http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... eader.info
Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found

I have noticed a few other people with this problem as well. Is the solution to simply install yum? If so, is there a good online tutorial on how to do that for RHEL 4? I have found this one: http://www.eth0.us/yum-rhel but it appears to be slightly out of date.

Also I noticed that the path: http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... 6/headers/ does not actually exist. Is the fix just to update this path location in my sources setup? Here is what I currently have

# Atomic
yum atomic http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/4ES/

# Atomic App Vault
yum atomic-app-vault http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault/

# SW-Soft PSA 8.1
yum psa-8.1 http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... 1/4ES/i386

Should the last line be

yum psa-8.1 http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... at/4/i386/

instead?

Thank you for all your help!

Ah, had the path wrong for the up2date people. Should be fixed now. I'll have to see if I can get the up2date configs into an rpm like I did for the yum users.

Scott,

The same problem exists for the CentOS4 files. http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... repomd.xml does not exist either.

Updated the download page. This wont be going on much longer, I'll get an rpm for the psa channels and up2date soon. I very much want everyone to get away from manual configurations. Oh and if someone can shoot me some VPS's to screw around with, I'll see what I can do about getting the auto-configure script to set up yum automatically as well.

The download page versions still don't work for all configurations. For example, one server I have uses CentOS4.3 on an Athlon64. Using the specified string of:
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... erES/$arch
resolves to:
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... repomd.xml
(Error 404).

The page it should actually point to appears to be:
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... s/4/x86_64

The auto-configure script bombed on this server because CentOS4.3 is not listed. Time to update it anyway...
