Title: Problem installing denyhosts
Post by: toothandnail on April 03, 2012, 02:41:47 PM: I'm trying to install the denyhosts contrib on an SME 7.5.1 machine. Keep coming up with this error:

Code: [Select]
[root@huntmaster ~]# yum install smeserver-denyhosts --enablerepo=smecontribs Loading "protect-packages" plugin Loading "smeserver" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories smecontribs 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 smeaddons 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 smeextras 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 4 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The repos have recently changed due to Centos4.x EOL and require user intervention, for fix see

Thanks Mary. I missed that, and must have been searching with the wrong terms, since it didn't come up when I searched.

Post by: toothandnail on April 03, 2012, 05:29:32 PM: Hmm. Just ran the command, but I'm getting another error now:

Code: [Select]
[root@huntmaster ~]# yum --disablerepo=base --disablerepo=updates update Loading "protect-packages" plugin Loading "smeserver" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
Any ideas on that one?

Paul.

Thanks again. It worked, eventually. Oddly enough, out of the 9 SME servers I look after at the moment, only 2 had problems (both on the same network, one gateway, one file server).

:) I'll have to find time to visit the forum more often - missed the original announcement completely.
