Problem Seedbox

[mr.Dman]

Which unix flavour did you get?

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

I have installed Fedora 6

thats your question???

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 https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-gui...nubuntu-281331

Looks like you dont have yum installed
do this:

wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/d...-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)

I follow your method but shows me the following errors

wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/d...-3.2.12.tar.gz
tar xvzpf yum-3.2.12.tar.gz
cd yum-3.2.12
./configure -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
make
make install

and in 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), the follow error

-bash: pico: command not found

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/d...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

[root@fx3219 ~]# rpm -Uvh yum-3.2.12-1.src.rpm

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.

cd yum-3.2.12
./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...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.

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 ?
