[tools] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[Johan Booysen]

Dear all,

I've installed mrepo on a RHEL4 server to upgrade from mrepo on RHEL3.

After installing mrepo, I copied the existing rpm packages to the
appropriate directory on the new server, and ran "mrepo -ugvv".
Everything seemed to go fine, and I can see that the symlinks are
created under /var/www/mrepo/rhel5es-i386/RPMS.updates (I want to
distribute updates to internal RHEL5 servers only).

But then I noticed that http://server/mrepo/rhel5es-i386/RPMS.updates/
only contains a repodata folder, and doesn't show the individual rpm
packages.  And after I pointed a RHEL5 server to the mrepo yum
repository, I can do a "yum search" and find packages, but when I try to
"yum install amanda-client" (just as a test), I get the following error:

Loading "installonlyn" plugin

http://server/mrepo/rhel5es-i386/RPMS.updates/amanda-client-2.5.0p2-4.i3
86.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: amanda-client-2.5.0p2-4.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks very much.
