bit off topic, but....
I've set up my first Centos gateway server and now
setting up another server on internal network.
I thought it would be nice to use the gateway servers
"/var/cache/yum" as a local repository for any internal servers
since it would be up to date with the lastest packages and save
bandwidth.
So... I created a sym link to create a repository through
gateways http server, ie.
ln -s /var/cache/yum /var/www/html/yum
Now internally I can browse the gateways repository with
no problem http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons
I've set the internal servers yum.conf to, ie.
[addons]
name=Local - Addons
baseurl=http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons/
gpgcheck=0
result....
yum list addons
Gathering header info
Server: Local - Addons
CacheDir: /var/cache/yum/addons
Getting header info from server
failover: baseURL = http://192.168.1.1/yum/addons/
failover: path = headers/header.info
and the just gets stuck there.
structure of gateways repostitory...
addons/headers/
addons/packages/
addons/header.info
ok,so seems yums looking for in the headers dir for the
header.info when really in the addons dir. Tried creating
s symlink in the headers dir ( ln -s ../header.info header.info)
but no go.
Any tips, I'm sure I'm missing something simple?
or maybe just can't do it how I want to.
