Recently, I tried installing\/updating few rpm’s with yum installer and got the error below.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be an issue with End Of Life (EOL) for CentOS 4. It’s not feasible to upgrade the current CentOS version right now & the same situation will be for others too. There is a workaround to overcome this error.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Open \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/CentOS-Base.repo in an editor<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 Comment all “mirrorlist” entries.<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 Uncomment the “baseurl” entries and change them to http:\/\/vault.centos.org\/4.9\/os\/$basearch<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will allow yum to search the rpm’s from CentOS’s vault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
