Keep your linux box up to date

Gua noticed yang default version of yum-updatesd does not function reliably. So gua cari better solution to make sure centos box gua updated. So untuk memastikan server gua always on up to date gua lebih prefer guna kan cron.. Steps seperti berikut:-

1. Disable yum-updatesd:-

/sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd off

2. Create yum.cron and make it executeble dan letakkan dia di folder /etc/cron.daily ataupun /etc/cron.weekly. Didalam file yum.cron itu masukan line seperti berikut:-

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum
/usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e -0 -d 0 -y update

Yum Error

saya menghadapi masalah service yum di mana setiap kali saya cuba untuk mengemaskini applikasi dipelayan fedora core 4 sering saja ianya gagal. mesej yang dipap

Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

bagi menyelesaikan masalah yum repo ini saya telah mengemaskini baseurl file fedora-xtras.repo seperti dibawah:

[extras]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
gpgcheck=1


file fedora-updates.repo juga saya turut kemaskini seperti dibawah:-

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
