"Can Someone Help Me Please"

Sure. Read the big red letters at the top of the screen when typing. They say: Don't report problems here - Please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker

If you're on SME 7.0 you will need to update yum and something else before proceeding to update everything else...

I've seen specific instructions before, but can't find them now (!)

The warning in the hilighted box at http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Which_repositories_should_be_enabled describes the problem...

You might get these installed using something like this at the command line:

- yum clean all
- yum install smeserver-yum smeserver-support
- signal-event post-upgrade
- signal-event reboot

One possible problem for 7.0 users is that you may have already been upgraded to an invalid kernel from the Centos repository (package kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.EL) - I have not seen specific instructions on solving this.

And of course - there are lots of other posts / discussions about yum describing various other issues...

"I've seen specific instructions before, but can't find them now "

Which is why it should go to the BT. So that something productive comes out of the problem/solution. Possibly like an edit to the wiki that contains the solution that it is easily findable.

or
rpm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories?

I fallowed your instrctions to the T.
rpm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories?
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot
Then after reboot I check if Software installer would work and it did not
 work. then I checked  the error log for Yum and got this?

Perhaps you should download the SME 7.1 iso and install an upgrade onto your server... then try YUM again...

Title: Yum update problem
Post by: cvlcc on June 18, 2007, 03:04:56 PM

How do I do this frim the Root?

Title: Yum update problem
Post by: mmccarn on June 18, 2007, 03:11:33 PM

If you're responding to my post about updating to 7.1 using the CD, there's no 'root' involved:

1) Download the 7.1 iso to a computer with a CD-RW drive
2) Burn the iso onto a CDR
3) reboot your SME server using the 7.1 CD

The installation should recognize that you have SME installed already, and should either do an upgrade installation or should at least offer to do an upgrade.

This is how all of the SME 7.0 RCx versions worked; I have NOT done a CD-based upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1.

That's incorrect

The instruction you were given was:

rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

Note that rm = remove
by removing the yum_repositories db file, the system will automatically recreate it (with correct values) when you do the post-upgrade & reboot
as original templates are expanded

If you used
rpm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
......

Then that would have done nothing as that is the rpm command used to install rpms (and there were no install switches specified and no rpm name specified either).
