yum can't find glibc

[cyo]

I am tryining to run easyapache and i am getting this error

.Your operating system's rpm update method (yum) was not able to locate the glibc package. This is an indication of an improper setup. You must correct this error before you can proceed.

you may install glibc on your server by :

yum install glibc

open this file :
pico /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

comment all the "mirrorlist" urls ..
and uncomment "baseurl"

Thereafter run /scripts/upcp --force

Thereafter run /scripts/easyapache
selecting all the required modules.

This will surely have your issue resolved . I had mine with no problems at all.

this is what happens when i to install glibc


-bash-2.05b# yum install glibc
Traceback (most recent call last):

That suggests that the OS was not installed correctly. You'll probably have to find the OS rpms for yum and glibc and reinstall them manually. Which OS and version are you running?

Are you running your system on a VPS? I've seen similar errors related to how the VPS is "virtualized" on the server. In most VPS you don't have full control over the kernel and some other elements of the OS.

looks like its just a curupted yum install have had it happen on a few vps machines
if you remove yum and reinstall it will probably cure it
and if it is virtuozzo add glibc* to your skip list
