EasyApache hangs during build

[g3ck0]

I try to use EasyApache on WHM 11.26.20, REDHAT Enterprise 4 i686 standard.

The installation hangs at the following point:

Checking that all tarballs are present and up to date.
Checking that all packages are present and up to date.
!! No method to auto repair package system !!

I tried to solve the problem and find that yum is giving errors also and that "Update Server Software" in WHM also isn't working.

#yum update is giving the following output:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 4ES - i386 - Base
retrygrab() failed for:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/4ES/i386/os/headers/header.info
Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/4ES/i386/os/headers/header.info
[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Hope some of you can help me further after 2 days of googling and trying..

You are on RedHat Enterprise 4, so you should be using the CentOS mirrors not the Fedora ones? Move your existing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file and replace those Fedora repositories with the actual CentOS-Base.repo ones:

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.bak
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

Here's an example of what that file should have placed into it for your OS version:

http://vault.centos.org/4.4/CentOS-Base.repo

Please also post the results of this command in that location (to ensure that you don't have any remaining Fedora repositories there:

ls -lah /etc/yum.repos.d/

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response.

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo doesn't exist. I've created a new directory and file and the command outputed:

total 24K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 30 18:38 ./
drwxr-xr-x 88 root root 12K Oct 30 18:38 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4K Oct 30 17:39 CentOS-Base.repo


The file that does exist is /etc/yum.conf
I edited that and ran yum update with these results:

Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'addons'. Skipping
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'update'. Skipping
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'extras'. Skipping

The old yum.conf looked like this:

Please try uncommenting the baseurl lines in CentOS-Base.repo file and re-running yum update again. After that, try running /scripts/easyapache --force again.

yum is still giving errors:

EasyApache still hangs at: Checking that all packages are present and up to date.
