how can i upgrade centos 4.3 to 4.5??

but i use 'yum upgrade'.. i get "No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion"..

did I miss something? :confused:
 
It's ok to use "yum update", after that run:
Code: 
cat /etc/redhat-release
to see if you have centos 4.5.
 
Check your /etc/yum.conf file. Check to make sure you're not excluding everything (*).

Check your /var/log/yum.log file for errors.

hi,

I use 'yum upgrade' and then check the yum.log but nothing inside

This my yum.conf =>

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel
distroverpkg=centos-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* named*
 
Does yum appear to update? Are there any error messages? Does yum ask you if you want to update? What messages do you get in /var/log/yum.log?

You may be using only dead repositories. For further info, I'd check with folk on the CentOS users mailing list.

I think the "installonlypkgs=" line in your yum.conf is preventing you from installing the other packages. You might want to comment "#" it out.
 
This thread is long dead...but was noticing that he has *ftp* in the include line which would like exclude all. Should just be ftp*.



thx
Scott
 
*ftp* would exclude all ftp related rpm's which is what you want.
