在Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 上配置YUM本地源时，遇到了"[Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory xxxx",花了点时间搞清楚错误的来龙去脉。特此记录一下：

将Redhat 5.7的光盘镜像拷贝到了/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc目录下，配置了rhel-media.repo文件，如下所示

[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# more rhel-media.repo

[media]

name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

执行yum clean all命令后，执行yum makecache遇到了下面错误：

[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# yum clean all

Trying other mirror.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: media. Please verify its path and try again

[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]#

出现这个错误的根本原因在于RHEL 5.x 版本与RHEL 6.x 版本的rpm包存放路径不同：

RHEL 5.x : ../Server 例如：我案例环境位于/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server 下。

RHEL 6.x : ../Packages

所以还在于上面的baseurl参数设置错误。那么我们可以通过两种方法解决这个问题：

方法1：配置正确的baseurl参数。

[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# vi rhel-media.repo

[media]

name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

gpgkey=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

方法2：使用createrepo命令创建本地源目录，将其指向baseurl指定的目录

[root@DB-Server Server]# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm
