This is the error I get when running yum update:

yum update

Yes ... same problem in my server too !!!
When I look into yum-repository directory, the BASEUrl's are linking somewhere ( mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeaddons/$basearch ) but there is only error 404 when you try to look there.
I chanced BaseURL to mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/....  but it does't work !!!!
I think that smeserver don't find repository tree nowhere and thats why updating/upgrading will break.

..Lasse..

I saw a post on CentOS forums where yum wasn't properly loading the variable$,  so you had to replace version$ with 4.3, etc

Once that was done, no errors!

This error is a problem with the mirror.

mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeaddons/$basearch could not handle the traffic so it is now re-directed to an ibiblio mirror that is currently having some sort of problems.  The entire  /linux/distributions/... portion of the mirror seems to be missing.

Change to a different mirror for now until ibiblio sorts things out (or wait).

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/ works fine for me (but I too am from .nl)

For idiots like me... Changes can be made in /etc/yum.conf (There is a template or DBConfig for this, so changes will be lost at template expansion)

To make them permamnent edit the configuration database instead:

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositoruies smeos setprop BaseURL "http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeos/\$basearch"
expand-templateIf you are tired of this as well try and vote for the fallover function/mirror list to be implemented at the SME Server mirrors in the bugtracker: bug 1163 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163)
