Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: contrib

Have I missed something obvious here? Did a quick search through the forums without much luck, any pointers would be great.

Thanks

Try:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/yum clean all
/usr/bin/yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Or go to server manager and check what repos you enabled.

It doesn't like what you have configured for the repository contrib

To find out what you have defined do a

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories show contrib
BTW, contrib is normally defined as a centos contibutions repository and shouldn't be enabled by default.
Sugegsted approach is to have it disabled by default and add --enablerepo=contrib to the yum line any time you wish to load something from that repository, eg

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=contrib install <package>
You can disable this repository via

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories setprop contrib status disabled

PS. as stated in the other post, you can view which repositories you have enabled via the server-manager panel for yum
