Title: Contribs installation error
Post by: peterhocking on June 13, 2008, 02:42:02 AM
Hi

Yesterday I did a fresh installation of 7.3 on a PC.

When ever I go to install a contrib via the root logon, I get the following;

[root@butterfly ~]# yum --enable smecontribs install smeserver-hwinfo

I've tried a number of differnet contribs, even rebooted the server, but still get the same error message. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

TIA

Peter

Maybe it should be:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-hwinfo

Yes AFAIK that is the preferred syntax on SME Server, but on my test server the OP's original command works as well, I suspect some sort of error and since this is a fresh install according to OP, I think it should be reported in the bugtracker.

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x contribs forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!
