Foswiki RPMS for Redhat Installation

-- GaryBright - 19 Nov 2012

Hi there

I am trying to install Foswiki on a RedHat ES6 machine

I have been following this guide http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/

I had to change this

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

to

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm

as 6.5 wasn't on the server.

but I get the following error running yum makecache

yum makecache
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
epel/metalink | 15 kB 00:00
http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/Centos6Server-noarch/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404"
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: foswiki. Please verify its path and try again

When trying to load http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/Centos6Server-noarch/repodata/repomd.xml with my browser I get "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria." error.

If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it

Thanks

Check the FOSWiki repo:

/etc/yum.repos.d/foswiki.repo

created by the command from the installation instructions:

curl http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/foswiki.repo > foswiki.repo

I needed to change

baseurl=http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/Centos$releasever-noarch/

to:

baeurl=http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/Centos6-noarch/

replacing the $release portion of the URL with the appropriate version number... in my case 6
