similar to: Upgrading my local repo to 5.2

I've run into some trouble with a new cPanel VPS, and noticed that it's running CentOS by default, installed via the CentOS http server. My question is, how do I downgrade CentOS to 5.1? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

Last night my rsync got some 'new' files for the base repo and new repodata. This morning, I set a server to upgrade from 5 to 5.1 by setting it to access my local base and updates repos. I got the following error: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for openssh-clients to pack into transaction set.

I do not know the command line for symbolic links. I created the symbolic link of /Centos/5 to /Centos/5.1 in Nautilus which does not have a method of changing a symbolic link. Only deleting it and creating a new one. Is there a command line to change /Centos/5 to link to /Centos/5.2 ? IMNSHO, anyone that has more than 2 Centos boxes should maintain their own local repo. Of course it

This is perplexing. on a Centos 5.1 box that I am trying to upgrade, I keep getting: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> from my local repo. I did a blank system install via http from this server with no problem. For instance, if I limit myself to: yum upgrade yum I get: Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up

I just completed my first 5.2 install. For 'completeness' I 'tested out' yum update. Guess what? For this minimum install, there were 43Mb of updates to download. So I went over to my local repo server and setup a /centos/5.2/updates directory and started the rsync to get all the updates: 155 files taking up 943Mb. Already. Wow! Perhaps something to do with the initial

All, There have been many people asking for how to do installs now that CentOS-4 has moved past End Of Life. First, I want to tell you that it is VERY dangerous to use CentOS-4 now. There is at least 1 critical (ie, remotely exploitable root) issue on CentOS 4 already: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-1182 The number of unpatched critical issues will grow. Using CentOS-4 is

I'm trying to install the build dependencies for an SRPM using yum-builddep, and it's telling me that it can't get the repo sqlite file for updates-source from vault. Any ideas? Something wrong with my repo configuration? The only thing I've done that should have touched the repo configuration is installing epel-release-7-1.noarch. Thanks! Eric [root at localhost SRPMS]#

Hi all, I'm trying to rebuild a pretty old server. For this, I need a copy of the CentOS 4.3 i386 DVD ISO, ideally. The torrent on the CentOS vault is not working... Does anyone have a copy of: CentOS-4.3-i386-binDVD.iso (md5sum: ca5ccf17951f4b4ef0460c7847e0f2ac) Kicking around? I'd be much obliged if I could get a copy. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer at

I am trying to set up a local repo for my division. I tried to rsync 5.1 updates off the mirrors and recieved an error of no file or dir. After going to the mirror, I notice that all of the 5.1 filder is empty and there is a readme there that states..... This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /5/ and not /5.1/ in your path. Please see this FAQ

I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time. I suppose, at this point I could just delete the 5.3 update directory and rsync the 5.4 directory... But how large is the 5.4 update directory? Oh, just for i386, without /debug and is there anything else I should not include? For example for my FC11 update repo I also exclude drpms.

So right now I have installed k3b on this notebook. I am using my Storix DVD/CDRW usb drive. I can read cds with it. Cannot burn CDs. First k3b suggests slowing down (from 8x to 4x). Then use TAO. Then it gave up. So I try cdrecord directly. -checkdrive finds some interesting things. Got to close the drive manually; cdrecord says it can't. then try a cdrecord -v dev=dev/scd0 sample.iso

I have a newly built drive with 5.2 fresh install (that I will be cloning shortly) in my DECtop and it is failing with X the same way the upgrade from 5.1 drive did (not too supprising there). In 5.1 X worked. I could startx from init 3 and get into GNOME. Also VNC into the box and have a GNOME screen. With 5.2, I get a kernel panic. Well I guess it is a kernel panic because once I run

Hi; I'm looking for CentOS 5.0 x86_64 dvd iso (preferably not torrent); must be 5.0 All my web searches have come up with more recent versions of 5.x, not 5.0. Can someone give me a URL I can wget with? I'd even be willing to throttle down the wget). Thanks, Ken Wolcott

Hi! I know that the nvidia-drv-x11-package is from RPMForge, but I thought I might mention it here. I have a machine with a NVidia-card and because of the ease of use I use the rpmforge-package for that. After upgrading the problem was that during rebooting as soon as the machine hit the RHGB (which implicitly uses that driver) the machine froze. I booted into the old kernel removed rhgb,

Greetings, I wanted to enable blackhole and CSV engine in the mysql server so downloaded the SRPM from Centos Site, setup the rpmbuild envronment with mighty help from the our own Russ's Owlriver website and tried building it. I have a 5.2 centos box on which I need to enable this so took the 5.2 SRPM (mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm) from vault.centos.org.(mysql The Build did not complete

In order to run a certain software package that runs as a java applet I had to install Centos 3.8 on a 32-bit server. After installation I upgraded the installation using yum after repointing the configuration file to vault.centos.org. This worked fine, however, I still have to resolve two problems: - I'd would like to make the EPEL repository available but have not been able to find if old

This is my first major version update after using a local repo. It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 5.2 base? Is this correct? When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files that
