Topic: Yum Updates

[cyberwatcher]

I was wondering how I can find out how to install the yum updates once I am notified via the admin email? I get yum updates are available however I get this same email about every day and it does not appear that they are being updated.

If I run rpm -qa | grep e-smith*

They are all older than the rpms that show up in my email as available. I am assuming I should be manually updating them. If that is the case than which ones are important?
Also from time to time I notice that I get an email: /sbin/e-smith/check4updates –m
“/sbin/e-smith/check4updates:  line 11: /tmp/check4updates.25584/fqOHV25591: No such file or directory.”

There are 2 ways of updating your Server:

1. Go to your server-manager's "Software installer" panel. There should then be a notice that there are updates available. Simply press the button to apply the updates. The panel will then lead you through the installation.

2. Go to your server console (physical console with keyboard and monitor or SSH with putty e.g.). Issue

Code: [Select]

yum update and follow the instructions.


About the other email: Would guess that's just noise, as it says there is a missing temp directory, but not sure if that's something to worry about.

Merry Xmas

Hey thanks for the quick response. I am currently downloading the updates. Thanks and have a great Christmas and New Year!

Please, read the manuals as there is a lot of vital information in there including the options on managing your SME Server.

I think it should be

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs update

I suggest the OP to read carefully the documentation

Ciao

I think it should be

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs update


Of course, if you want to update your contribs as well, you would need that command. But AFAIK the server-manager method doesn't enable any other repo.

That depends, as you can activate all repositories that are visible there as well by selecting them (Ctrl + click)

Well, wrongly expressed. I meant the smecontribs repo which is not shown in the list of repos in the software installer panel.

I do not know why it needs 5.1.6-3.el4s1.8 is ? and i do not find this in the standard repos.

You mist likely installed PHP 5, which is not a part of the base installation. This has been discussed in the forums more, but I do not know the best solution, but I guess it would be to manually exclude some packages. Perhaps a search or some other user can guide you to the solution.
