[YLUG] yum MySQL Administrator repository on RHEL3 ...

[Varsani, Rajendrakumar (PSD)]

I did that too and it installed 100% but I don't know what it actually
does to the system.

I've put the yum.conf file back to what it was but it now can't find any
servers

It only contains this:



[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

Not a clue.  I only have yum on the one box where everything is
pre-configured 
and I don't touch it.  You might find the following url helps, it looks
like 
it will set up the dag repo in yum for you.  Before you do that I would 
remove all none default stuff from the yum.conf and get yum running
without 
errors.
