Fog install RHEL 7

@israel-rodriquez said in Fog install RHEL 7:

No package epel-release available.

That’s your problem. Does this box have internet access?

[Israel.Rodriquez]

Yes, I am connected to the internet.

@israel-rodriquez Was this rhel 7 box installed from official RHEL ISO, or is this a customized server build?

You may try installing epel beforehand manually like this:

Hi Wayne,

This is the official RHEL iso.

[Wayne Workman]

@israel-rodriquez Please try those steps to manually install EPEL, see how that goes.

[Israel.Rodriquez]

@wayne-workman I just did and no luck.

Would you like me to update this with the new log?

[Wayne Workman]

@israel-rodriquez What was the error when you manually tried?

[Israel.Rodriquez]

@wayne-workman [root@localhost carlisleadmin]# yum -y install epel-release
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-

I could be wrong but epel is a fedora/centos thing, not a redhat (native) thing.

You could try this:

Particularly (or as root):

sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum update

@tom-elliott I’ve installed epel on RHEL 7 before. You need to use the CentOS 7 version of epel for RHEL 7. Although I have been meaning to tell you for a while now (10 months maybe?) that RHEL has a repository available called optional packages that is basically the same thing that epel is. I can get the exact details if needed, but it’s optional packages something something that is disabled by default inside of /etc/yum.repos.d/something (sorry, lots of fuzzy memories). It just needs enabled=false set to enabled=true. I say this because it’s probably better to use Red Hat provided optional packages over EPEL packages because Red Hat ensures they work with RHEL. However - epel works just fine and dandy for RHEL as well.
