I have tried #yum clear all

Didn't work :(



This is on my UK server witch dose not have Cpanel installed.

[Lorem-Ipsum]

in /etc/yum.conf try removing fastestmirror .

[Jackster]

This is all i have in it:


[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1

# Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this.
metadata_expire=1h

# Default.
# installonly_limit = 3

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

[Lorem-Ipsum]

change :


plugins=1

to

plugins=0

and see if that makes any difference. It shouldn't but it seems to be fastestmirror that's causing issues.

I'm not really sure though. Its been a while since I've mucked about with yum.

Have you ever updated this server. The package repositories could be old.

yum update ?

also try:


yum clean all

again.

[Jackster]

Have done 30 times over :(

Just backing the box up then installing CentOS 4.5.. Can't find any bugs in 4.5 :)

[Lorem-Ipsum]

I would highly recommend using a deb based system such as debian or ubuntu.

I have had nothing but trouble using rpm based systems with Yum such as CentOS, Red Hat and Fedora.

Just my experience though. Your's may be completely different.

[Jackster]

Ill have a look and see if Cpanel's Game Panel works with them.

[Lorem-Ipsum]

Hmm, good point.

I don't think they support anything other than FreeBSD, RehHat and CentOS. :(

[Jackster]

Cpanel don't but the cPGS might...

Anyway it is back up and I'm trying to config it now :)
