HTTP Client side configuration (Part 4)

Step-3:  Editing hosts file

[root@yumsrv ~]# vi /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

210.207.201.254 yumsrv     yumsrv

210.207.201.x   pc1        pc1

Step-1:  Locating repository information

[root@pc1 ~]# vi /etc/yum.conf

[main]

gpgcheck=0

plugins=0

[RHEL5-Repository]

name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Local Repository

baseurl=http://210.207.201.254/rhel5

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

gpgkey=http://210.207.201.254/rhel5/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Step-2:  Locating debug information

[root@pc1 ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

[root@pc1 yum.repos.d]# cp rhel-debuginfo.repo  rhel5.repo

[root@pc1 yum.repos.d ~]# vi rhel5.repo

[RHEL5-Debuginfo]

name= Red Hat Enterprise Linux Local Repository Debuginfo

baseurl=http://210.207.201.254/rhel5

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Note: Now remove or move the rhel-debuginfo.repo file, otherwise yum will be try to use this file

Step-3:  Disable RHN plug-ins

[root@pc1 ~]# cd /etc/yum/pluginconf.d

[root@pc1 ~ pluginconf.d]# vi rhnplugin.conf

[main]

enabled=0

gpgcheck=0

[rhel-i386-server-5]

enabled=0

Step-4:  Testing the server

Now verify that your client can download and install packages from yum server by typing the command below.

[root@pc1 ~]# yum clean all

[root@pc1 ~]# yum update

[root@pc1 ~]# yum list

[root@pc1 ~]# yum install kernel* gcc* lib* httpd* vsftpd* -y

[root@pc1 ~]# yum erase kernel* gcc* lib* httpd* vsftpd* -y

So, now you can install & uninstall your all required packages from local http server by using yum command.
