If you have already copied the entire content of the DVD to the web server, you don't need to run createrepo. First make sure you can browse the files from your client. Let's say it is http://your.web.server/somedir/5/x86_64/ and you see the repodata directory (among other things) there, then edit the [base] section of CentOS-Base.repo to have: baseurl=http://your.web.server/somedir/5/x86_64/ and comment out the mirrorlist line. Now test to see if yum can access it. Akemi _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
