I set up a HTTP Yum server and it is working fine. But in the server, I
can not run Yum client with file:// protocol URL. What I get is:
----------
# yum list updates
Not using ftp or http for servers, Aborting -
file:///home/Packages/Linux/RedHat/8.0/
----------
The path is right, and in the yum.conf man page says I can use file://
protocol. If I change the protocol to http:// the Yum client works fine
in the server.
Any sugestions?
Also, I think it just took too long to download all the needed headers,
even the client and the server being the SAME machine. I know there is a
lot of HTTP overhead when you download MANY small files, but more than 1
second for each file was too long. (The CPU reported average 90% idle
time during download).
Did I miss something?
Thanks
My /etc/yum.conf file:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest

name=Red Hat Linux 8.0
