The location does not exist, see

Ok.

So it looks like the YUM script is calling for the wrong location.

I found yum.conf in /etc

This is calling for the file location by $release which I assume it is reading from some where.

How do I change the release name so that the conf is picking up the correct location.

If you really want to upgrade your 6.5RC1, then change the $releasever to 6.0 or 6.0.1 in the updates section.  If you haven't modified your system, there should be 18 updates you need to get.  I believe that the maintence team is working on getting something officially announced for 6.5RC1.  
I just joined that team and have been testing the FL updates on my test servers and have these updates running on my production server as well.  I have yet to see any issues with these updates.

Take it for what it's worth.

Hi JB,
Just to be clear, do you mean I can change these two URL's:

Code: [Select]


base: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/6.5RC1/os/e$
update: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/updates/6.5RC1/i386/


To these:

Code: [Select]


base: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/6.0.1/os/
update: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/6.0.1/updates/i386/


I've got a fresh install of 6.5, so I wanted to be clear before I gave it a shot!

Thanks in advance,

As of right now, just change the updates section.
