hi -- yum help?

[fgraph]

Hi all,
This forum has helped a lot in fixing up my server. I had to upgrade mysql badly and in doing so ended up creating quite a fiasco. I was able to upgrade my kernel, get yum, but I'm having trouble using atomic's to get the mysql upgrade. Can someone help me out as a yum newbie to tell me what I have to put in the yum.conf? I pasted

but I get a long error. Any ideas?

This is my error when I type yum upgrade mysql

rpmdb: unable to join the environment

make sure you pick the urls for yum config that match your OS ....

that first baseurl you have with 3es.atomicrocket.... doesn't look right to me if you have a 1and1 ROOTIII server that would most likely be running RedHat9 or the more recent Fedora Core 2 ....i think the 3es is for RedHat Enterprise 3.0 server

[Jason Lee]

the es3 server is just a mirror for the archives. It contains the repositories for all the versions of redhat and fedora core that he supports.

I'm currently haveing a problem updating my server with yum. I haven't been able to get any support from Art's forums so maybe someone here can help me....

I've had a few probs with this as well.
What works for me is to set the yum.conf to take :

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://update.pureserver.info/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os
/

where is says update.pureserver.info you'll substitute update.onlinehome-server.com . Dont use ART's repositories for the [base] [updates] or [psa] but use 1&1's own . I used ART's for the base etc packages and it rendered my server almost useless, 1&1 have their own setup. Use ART's for 3rd party stuff like ClamAv etc.

[Jason Lee]

I just attempted to use....


name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://update.onlinehome-server.com/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://update.onlinehome-server.com/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

with yum but those won't work. update.pureserver.info will work for me. I'm with 1&1 US.

[b]Edit: The update server is now working with yum.

Also has anyone updated the kernel on their 1&1 Root Server using the update.pureserver.info (or update.onlinehome-server.com) yum repositories ?

[Jason Lee]

I found out my answer. I tried the upgrade but it didn't work. Now my server is stuck in recovery mode. I'm now on the phone with 1and1 support attempting to solve this problem.
