Yum error while installing mysql

[omidkamangar]

Hi,
I am using FC6 and I am trying to install MySQL using yum. I have copied all the files in the FC6 DVD to a folder named "rpms" in the home directory of my user name, i.e

/home/omid/rpms

I have configured the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo file to point to that folder.
Here is the contents:

[root@localhost omid]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo
[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever – $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

and when I try to install MySQL I get this message.

Omid:

Here is a link to a situation with the same error; I don’t know if it will help but it appears to be the identical error:

http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/arc…/t-133876.html

This is the solution the user employed, with joy:

"Problem solved:
I had used the DVD to populate my initial FC6 mirror, including the
repodata. When I refresh the repodata with from the mirrors, yum
started working.
The odd thing is that my FC5->FC6 upgrade worked fine with it, and the
resulting FC6 system was able to run yum fine. Just the fresh install
had problems."

Good luck

HI,
1) you states that u had copied all the files from fedora DVD to /home/omid/rpms, but it may not the directory where actual .rpm packages are contained. For instance there must be a dirctory named fedora which contains tha actual .rpm files. if it is the case then you have to chage your rpository file like this

baseurl=file:///home/omid/rpms -instead of this line u have to type following

baseurl=file:///home/omid/rpms/fedora.

2) if u still get the same error then u have to perform another step. u also have to remade repository database. to do this follow following step

# cd /home/omid/rpms
-go to target directory
# createrepo -v fedora 
-fedora is the actual directory that contains .rpm files. so we have to create rpository to this directory
# rm fedora/.olddata
-u have to remove old repository database file

3) when u do this. also do following before installing package

# yum clean all
at client side before installing package
