Topic: Problems with yum updates for my server. help?

[spyrule]

Good morning,

 I have been trying to do update to my server now, for a little while (a couple of days), and I have been getting the following error:

ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/smeserver/releases/7/smeaddons/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 550 7: No such file or directory

 I think the problem is the missing dependencies, however when I attempt to manually update the dependency with the said version, I get the message that it is already installed.

 Can anybody steer me in a direction where to either read the fix, or how to actually fix this?

 Thank you in advance,

 Spyrule.

I don't have php-common or php-pdo on my system.  Do you know where you got them from? 

If you installed them using Dries, Dungog, Dag, or another custom repository, you'll need to make sure that the repo you used is in your config then do yum --enablerepo=<repo> update.  See http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Yum_Repository for help configuring or reconfiguring your supplemental yum repositories.

If you installed them manually using wget.... yum localinstall ... you may have to locate the dependancies and update them manually.

I think I might know where these are coming from... now that I think about it.

 I am running php 5 on this server, so I suspect it's a dependency from there, not really sure what file to look for though for fixing this.

 I am rather new to running the sme server (at the admin level anyway), so I am learning by the flaming seat of my pants... so-to-speak.
 
 Would you know of any specific way to find out the specific dependency package name so that I can DL and install it with yum?

 (btw, all packages I have install we're with wget and yum localinstall functions.)

 Thanks in advance,

 Spyrule.

Yep php5 is your problem and not supported with SME Server 7.x - your best bet would be to remove php5 then update.

Moved to contribs section as it is more appropriate here.

yum list will list both the installed packages and the packages available at the default repos.

yum list --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=dag will list the packages installed &/or available from the non-standard 'dag' repository, if you have configured it on your system.

Until you find the next problem, you're looking for somewhere with php-common, as far as I can tell...

Note: Byte's suggestion to remove PHP5 is the 'official' answer, as he's been around longer than I and knows more about the guts of SME. Be very careful...
