Hi, I've got a newly install Fedora Core 4 machine which I am trying to update from a local repository - mirrored from the mirrored from mirrorservice.org in the uk using the following script : #!/bin/csh (cd /yum/ ; /usr/bin/wget -nH --cut-dirs=1 -N -r -np -R iso ftp:// www.mirrorserv ice.org/sites/fedora.redhat.com) It has been working fine for Fedora 1, 2 & 3 machines on our network, but FC4 doesn't seem to want to work... I use the following configuration : [root@kushana ~]# more /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=fedora-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=ftp://jjonah/4/i386/os [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=ftp://jjonah/updates/4/i386 Just a variation on the yum.conf used on FC3 machines (replacing the '3' with a '4' in the paths and nothing more). But when I try to update I get the following problem : [root@kushana ~]# yum -y update Repository updates-released already added, not adding again Repository base already added, not adding again Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 ftp://jjonah/updates/4/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 550 Failed to change directory. Trying other mirror. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: updates-released failure: repodata/repomd.xml from updates-released: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. A fair amount of google searching, and including list archives from this list, hasn't helped. I am able to ftp in to 'jjonah' and browse the repository without any permissions problems, and the file/ directory ownerships on the pre FC4 sections of the repository are the same as those in the FC4 area. I can even browse the repository using the urls from the yum.conf cut&pasted straight into a browser window. Even opening the ftp links directly from a terminal when viewing the yum.conf with 'more' works, but yum doesn't... Does anyone have any idea what I can do next to try to isolate or correct this problem? Cheers, Tim Kirk
