Topic: error getting repository data...repository not found.

[ber]

Linux SME 7.6 server/gateway mode- all updates installed.

Initial problem was I couldnt install any contribs (SME7admin or sysmon). I tried checking and updating the repository data by running yum clean all- may have messed up some configs??

can anyone shed some light.

here is the output when running a localinstall of a system-monitor software and also when running a check for repository list of contribs...

Error getting repository data for sme7contribs, repository not found

i tried,

 yum clean metadata

Thanks.

Have you setup the SME7 smecontribs repo to point to a repo named sme7contribs?

See here for details HERE

[ber]

Hi Terry, 

Ive run the script then tried to do local install of some software- error.

Then tried to run a contrib install (sme7admin)- error.

Does my config show that the repository location is correct?

here is the output...unsure why it keeps having issues. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks again...

[TerryF]

As far as the contrib insitall goes, the "yum install smeserver-sme7admin --enablerepo=smecontribs"

Should be yum install smeserver-sme7admin --enablerepo=sme7contribs

The smeserver-sme7admin is in the SME 7 repository which you have now called sme7contribs.

Looks to be issues with the CenTos repo

This will list all repos you have configured
db yum_repositories show

In your first post you
yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs list smeserver-*
if you had not set the sme7contrib repo then it woulkd fail, hence my original question and suggestion.

I followed the script as requested and this is what i got.

seems the config is correct??

I ran the install command for a system monitoring contrib and this is what i got:

I get same error from here (Oz) when attempting an install of that contrib on a 7.6 setup.

Looks like there is an issue outside of your direct control ie upstream, proxies etc etc .

You could  try and wget the other dependency rpms as well (to the same folder), and then do yum local install.

If this continues it will be better to lodge a bug report, better minds than mine there.

[ber]

appreciate your help Terry, I've set-up three of these boxes for clients and friends over the last three weeks for web-filter purposes using "dansguardian" All the systems act as server/gateway mode.
All work well.
I seem to be getting problems with "localinstall" as well. - this when trying to install "sysmon"

This particular site which isn't different from the others seems to be problematic??
I want to install sme7admin for monitoring purposes- doesn't seem to like it??

Ill work away at it and if no joy will post a bug. Thanks John (NZL)

No worries, but, does that site use same provider etc, same hardware etc for outside connections, you can see where I am going.

Theres something on that route between the box and the relevant files. Firewall?, Proxy? Other hardware configs?

If it was urgent and withinn your power I would maybe try, just to confirm, move that box to a network that is known to be OK and confirm it updates etc.

A search on the forums here coughs up a few of the same scenarios, some with definet answers, some with no conclusive answers and problem disappears after a few days.

Good Luck
