I am running CentOS 5.3 on a VPS. It is using the centos kernel and not openvz or anything like that. I have set up a LAMP server before on CentOS 5.3 using an openvz kernel so this is not my first LAMP install. However I am stumped now. I have installed RPMForge before and installed it now. So now I try to run yum like so: Code: yum install httpd php php-mysql php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt mysql mysql-server phpmyadmin however it says no package available except for htppd/apache which it says are already installed. Does it sound like i missed something when doing RPMForge?
Yes it is, but looks like i forgot to set a priority for it. Does that matter? After talking with my host they said the packaged were installed already. This baffles me as every linux distro i have ever seen usually says the pacage is installed and up to date. Furthermore I even tried to remove MySQL using yum, which i did, and webmin no longer recognized mysql, but yet it still told me the same thing as above when I tried "yum install mysql mysql-server."
My centos-base.repo looks exactly like the one here: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities Except for gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 which is of course gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos5 for my set up. Have enabled the ones that have enable next to them in that file. The RPMForge repo is set to enabled=1. kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo and CentOS-Media.repo are all set to enabled=1. Now i ran yum update and gets: root@server101 [/etc/yum.repos.d]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * base: centosj3.centos.org * updates: centosh.centos.org * c5-media: * contrib: mirror.nsc.liu.se * centosplus: centosb2.centos.org * addons: centosj-msync-dvd.centos.org * extras: centosh2.centos.org file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror.

CentOS-Base.repo looked just like this: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities I set enabled to 1 on [centosplus] and [contrab]. In kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo [kbs-CentOS-Extras] is enabled. [kbs-CentOS-Extras] is not(Enabled=0) CentOS-Media.repo enabled=0 but i changed it to 1. rpmforge.repo enabled=1 Since making the changes i know get: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Determining fastest mirrors * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * base: centosj3.centos.org * updates: centosj-msync-dvd.centos.org * c5-media: * contrib: mirror.nsc.liu.se * centosplus: centosb2.centos.org * addons: centosj-msync-dvd.centos.org * extras: centosh2.centos.org kbs-CentOS-Extras | 951 B 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 157 B 00:00 rpmforge | 1.1 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 3.5 MB 00:01 rpmforge 9603/9603 base | 1.1 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 878 kB 00:00 base 2508/2508 updates | 951 B 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 353 kB 00:00 updates 528/528 file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror. file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml' Trying other mirror.
