new to yum need help

[amit290]

Hi all,

I'm looking for guidance with setting up / using YUM for the first time. I went to the 'Tutorials' page on ART web site, and installed the ART GPG KEY using WGET. I then ran "wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh"

which I assumed setup YUM to point to ART. This is what it output:

Code: Select all

Atomic Archive installer, version 0.9.13
Configuring the [atomic] yum archive for this system

Installing the Atomic GPG key: OK
Downloading atomic-release-1.0-6.fc4.art.noarch.rpm: OK


The Atomic Rocket Turtle archive has now been installed and configured for your system
The following channels are available:
  atomic          - [ACTIVATED] - contains the stable tree of ART packages
  atomic-testing  - [DISABLED]  - contains the testing tree of ART packages
  atomic-bleeding - [DISABLED]  - contains the development tree of ART packages

Looks OK yeah?

If I try and and do "yum install lynx" I get the following error message

Code: Select all

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/4/updates/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:30:22 GMT

Here's what my YUM.CONF contains

Code: Select all

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
metadata_expire=1800

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Do I manually need to add the entries on the 'tutorials' page for my server to the YUM.CONF file ?

I'm using Plesk 8.2.1, and Fedora Core 4

(psa v8.2.1_build82070918.10 os_FedoraCore 4
OS Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.11-smp)


Thanks in advance,

Fedora Cora 4 is unsupported by the Fedora Legacy project. Read about it here: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/#main


Suggest you upgrade to a supported version.

At least disable/remove the Fedora Legacy config in /etc/yum.repos.d to make yum work again. But yeah, there won't be anymore updates for Fedora Core 4, only Fedora 7 and 8 are supported by the Fedora Project at the moment, although Plesk doesn't run on those versions of Fedora yet.

For more peace of mind I recommend using CentOS instead.
