I am using two SL6.0 virtual machines on VirtualBox. I want to create a YUM environment. YUM server has been successfully created and the YUM client has also been configured correctly.
But when I run yum list all
or yum install packagename* -y
on the client, the following error shows up:
ftp://192.168.0.101/rhel6/dvd/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 7 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: client. Please verify its path and try again
In my attempts to solve this problem I renamed the default files sl.repo and sl-updates.repo to sl.repo.bak and sl-updates.repo.bak, thinking maybe the stuff inside them is creating problems, but to no avail...
I can successfully ping the server. The repo file is correctly configured. From what I have read on the net, this is a pretty common error, and occurs for no apparent reason.
How do I resolve this?
