I have a RHEL 5 server on which i had enable it to work as NFS share -- shares are enable and while i configured yum -- created a repository to locate as /var/ftp/pub/Server -- /var/ftp/pub/images -- /var/ftp/pub/VT

Now when i do yum update all command on the prompt it gives me an error on screen
ftp://10.208.131.73:/var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4 IOError: error (-2, 'Name or Service not Known')>
Trying other mirror
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xmlfile for repository: Server

Can you help what is causing this???

Also I tried the command createrepo to create a repository it is not allowing me to create it. please let me know what i am doing wrong here. its urgent....!

Correct URL's in repositary file with ftp://10.208.131.73/pub/Server , ftp://10.208.131.73/pub/images , ftp://10.208.131.73/pub/VT

Check FTP Deamon, if not started, start it with /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

Pls try this command.

restorecon -R /var/ftp/pub

check the contents of the files in this path it should be listed as user_public_content somthing like that.. selinux is also major reason behind this error message

firstly correct url is like this

ftp://10.208.131.73 /var/ftp/pub/Server

make sure in etc/yum.repos.d/Server.repo you have given name in capital letter means first letter of the name in capital & it applied with another server name too.

for ex:

[Rahul]
name=Rahul

...................................
............................
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[Virtulisation]
name=Virtulisation
...........................
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

:wq

then go to the server side and run command
service vsftpd restart
service network restart

if it still not works
then run this too on servier side
service iptables stop

then come back to your client side (your sys on which problem arisen)
run cmd

service vsftpd restart

service network restart

it will work

then run cmd yum list

and install softwares..................
