Can't get repos working

Latest response

Hello everybody.
I'm having some issues with yum. When I run "yum repolist" I get this:

[root@SRVRG3ORAPP01 ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager

repolist: 0

I have already registered and subscribed box to my account, and I've checked in portal and UUID is correct.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Looks like you've got a repo defined in /etc/yum.repos.d that's expecting to find software on a mounted DVD. You've got a couple choices:
* Nuke the repo config out of /etc/yum.repos.d
* Set the "enabled" parameter's value to "0"
* (re) Mount the DVD that has the repomd.xml file on it.

I'd probably take the second option. That way, any time you want to do something from DVD, all you have to do to use it is pass an --enablerepo= option to yum.

Thanks Tom! I disabled the DVD repo and now is working.

Thanks again!
