Yep that is the one, it gave me the repo file that resulted in this.

OK something is wrong with what you got. I just did it and the file should look like the following after it was installed:

```

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch
# It is much more secure to use the metalink, but if you wish to use a local mirror
# place its address here.
#baseurl=https://download.example/pub/epel/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-$releasever&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
countme=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-$releasever

[epel-debuginfo]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
# It is much more secure to use the metalink, but if you wish to use a local mirror

Brand new server, followed guide from EPEL setting it up, first added repo to server.

Hmmm, which guide to setting EPEL up has this? The one that should be used is at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_el9 and I will sort of copy what it says here:

```

#  if you are running Alma/Rocky/EuroLinux you would do

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

# else if you are running RHEL9

sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-$(arch)-rpms

#

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm 

```

will install the correct file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ which should have the correct permissions

 

Tried your suggestion, and I get this.

bash: cd: /etc/yum/repos.d/: No such file or directory

That should be /etc/yum.repos.d not /etc/yum/repos.d/

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'dl.fedoraproject.org_pub_epel_9_x86_64_':

Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'dl.fedoraproject.org_pub_epel_9_x86_64_': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

That URL is wrong, it should be https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

Looking at the name, and the URL, that is from a custom repo config file.

The easiest way to spot that is the name 'dl.fedoraproject.org_pub_epel_9_x86_64_'
It should be "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - x86_64"

You should contact the machine's administrator.

If you are the machine's administrator, then I would search for dl.fedoraproject.org in a file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and fix the repo file.
