Hello all,

I cant yum from VE(as root). Is there anything that i have to set specific config? I've installed openvz on centos and then created several centos VEs. I can only vzyum from HN. When i attempt from VE yum, it show:

Quote:

ERROR: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo:update

Thanks a lot..

Hello,

Check your:
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

You should have something like that:
[code]
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
#
#

Use mirrorlist instead baseurl to avoid offline mirrors.

I did of course check the repo as you mentioned and it does have the same entry as centos default repo entry. But i still couldn't yum, yet. This effect on Fedora-4/5 templates as well. I downloaded templates as per instruction, yum vztmpl-*.*. The kenel is RHEL-4 2.6.9-023stab016.2.

I install yum for VEs through HN by

# vzyum {VeIDs} install yum

Then

# vzctl enter {VeID}
-bash: yum update

So when doing yum inside, i got the above mentioned error message. Is this related to vzyum or any other thing??

Thanks a lot.

Have you checked your /etc/resolv.conf for valid nameservers? You must add a nameserver using:
vzctl set VEID --nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --save

Gotcha! solved now. So, must set nameserver in order to use yum inside VE. Thanks for helping me.
