Problem Seedbox

[messi30]

I want setting my seedbox but i have a problem, i cant solve, this is my problem


-bash: yum: command not found

I have installed fedora 6

[class]

basically you typed the command wrong. i have done this many times, and sometimes it may be because you have typed the wrong thing earlier on

-bash: always means you typed the wrong thing, and you cannot -bash: command

Did you follow the tutorial word for word yet?

Which unix flavour did you get?

Not all unix understand yum, some are apt-get iirc?

I am having the same problem. I have hosting IE as well. I have the centurion II plan. I get the same errror. I think I am running red hat, which might be what he is running as well. The reason the linux OS type is unclear is that it never lists they type anywhere, as far as I can see. I am truly in need of help on this problem too.

I have installed Fedora 6

thats your question???

Looks like you dont have yum installed
do this:

wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/3.2/yum-3.2.12.tar.gz
tar xvzpf yum-3.2.12.tar.gz
cd yum-3.2.12
./configure
make
make install

I'm a bit new to linux myself but this is how you generally install programs "manually" instead of using programs like apt-get or yum. There may be other things you need to do in the ./configure, make and make install parts so you may want to see if there's a README in the yum-3.2.12 directory. Pico is a good editor for new users so just type pico README or pico INSTALL in the yum-3.2.12 directory (ctrl x to exit)

As above YUM (Yellowdog Update Manager) is the package manager used for Redhat/Mandrake based Linux distro's , If the distro on this server is Debian/Ubuntu based then the package manager is APT (Advanced Packaging Tool), there is also emerge for Gentoo based distro's but Gentoo is not commonly used for server installations.
In a PuTTY session type uname -s this will show the O/S version onscreen to confirm which distro you have.
The command line for apt is slightly different to yum it is apt-get install [ ] [ ]
but once you have the distro type this will be clearer.

[Ragecloak]

I thought RPM was the package manager for redhat? If you have rpm, that's easier than compiling like I suggested above
just do this:

wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/3.2/yum-3.2.12-1.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.12-1.src.rpm

edit: be sure to wget the full link and not the short link like the forum shows h ttp://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/3.2/yum-3.2.12-1.src.rpm :)

I'm setting up mine from hosting-Ie right now and I had them install FD6
I'm using this guide and it's working well http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-guides-and-tutorials-65/t-naqs-complete-setup-guide-linux-seedboxes-fedora-corecentosdebianubuntu-281331

Like I said before use the uname -s command to verify which Linux distro is installed on the server, and post back the results here.

errr oops lol, that was informative uname has alot of different command switches -s is the default, try -v which will give you the version and if push comes to shove -x gives you the expanded command which will give all the uname info available.

./configure -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
make
make install

Yea, there's no configure there, but according to the INSTALL file, all you have to do is make and make install. Have you tried running yum again? Should/could work :)

Strange your FC6 doesn't come with yum. Here is how to install it:

# wget ftp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/pub/redhat.com/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/yum-3.0.6-1.fc6.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh yum-3.0.6-1.fc6.noarch.rpm

That should work. Type this afterwards if the last command completed OK to update the system.

# yum update

I am having many problems with my seedbox, I need to speak with support of hosting ie for OS reinstall some, but I need someone to help you to find out which operating system is ideal for installation again.

[Artemis]

You need to put in a support ticket with hosting-ie asking for a reinstall, a suggestion though, if you are struggling with using Linux on the server hosting-ie offers windows2003 web ed as one of the options for O/S installation so perhaps going with windows server maybe easier for you ?
