updating CentOS 4.1 with YUM

[bonsaidouglas]

Plesk users on CentOS 4.1?

I've installed Plesk 7.5 on CentOS 4.1 no problem, just updated /etc/redhat-release to "RHEL ES4".

I'm not sure what to set my YUM repos to though. Will the CentOS defaults overwrite or use different versions of packages than Plesk requires? Are Atomic Rocket Turtle's packages specificically designed for Plesk?

Just looking for a reliable YUM configuration for regular update checks...

Thanks

Hello,
A.R.T. is now supporting CentOS 3 and 4 now. I've only used the 3.3 channel though, not the 4......

I was getting a "Permission denied" tonight when trying to get to ART's CentOS4 (just fyi)

You don't have permission to access /atomic/psa-7.5/CentOS4 on this server.

ooh, same here....

To get this to work, /etc/redhat-release must be changed to:

RedHat Enterprise Linux EL4 (Nahant)

Then change this line in /etc/yum.conf:

distroverpkg=redhat-release

It all should work well then.

Which repo did you hit that on? www or 3es?

You can also use "4ES" for psa 7.5 on CentOS for my archives, since they are both the same thing. I'm just using symlinks to point CentOS4 to the 4ES dir.

3es?

Hey what does 3es actually refer to? Being on CentOS 4.1 I want YUM to hook up with 4es no?

On art's repo all the links seem to refer to 3es:
http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/4ES/

# SW-Soft PSA 7.5.x RPMS
yum atomic-psa75 http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa75/CHANGEME/

Is it actually just the same thing as:
yum atomic-psa75 http://WWW.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa75/CHANGEME/

3ES is short for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3"

sample yum.conf

Ok so does this look right for a yum configuration? I'm on CentOS 4.1 with Plesk 7.5 already installed and running.

Yep! That looks good. Bare in mind Im still populating that archive with packages, so you might run into some weird missing packages every now and then.
