    I have a major problem isntalling yum on spry.com's vps. I followed your instructions and here's what I got:

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentO...
    Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentO...
    error: Failed dependencies:
    rpm = 4.3.3-22_nonptl is needed by rpm-python-4.3.3-22_nonptl.i386

    rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentO...
    Retrieving http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentO...
    error: Failed dependencies:
    yumconf is needed by yum-2.4.3-3.el4.centos.noarch

    Any clue? I would really appreciate it.

    yumconf can be found here

    http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/346...

    and provides:

    [root@home root]# rpm -ql centos-yumconf-4-4.5
    /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

    Just moved to mediatemple myself, tried plesk, had it removed, and was facing the same problem. Very helpful article thank you.

    Thanks for this tutorial - I had the same problem and working from your commands here I was able to get yum running (eventually).

    Now to get JSON support in PHP5... :)

    Cheers,

    Hi all, this tutorial works great. I just thought I would let everyone know that since this article was posted there have been some updates to the links for several of the commands... You may want to go to this address: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentO... and do a control > find to search for the exact version of the file you will need. Some of the links above are out of date.

    Thanks for the tutorial,
    Wes

    Thanks a bunch! I appreciate this. Was looking all over, as I am trying to install dkim, and needed the patch command... which was only available though yum!

    # yum install patch

    Thanks again!
