Need help installing the virtualmin repository YUM

[color=#000080]Hello,

I am using centos-5. I have managed to get virtualmin installed successfully. The install.sh did not work on my system so I had to install using the webmin module. Everything is working except that I couldn't get Proftpd installed. I found a similar issue on the forum: http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/webmin/re:proftpd--yum-%3D-nothing-.html

I think that I understand how to resolve this issue but it requires adding a yum repository. I am new to YUM and do not know how to add repositories. I think that I need to setup a mirror using an rsync command but my attempts to learn how to do this have confused me more than they have helped. I would like to add the following repository into my YUM configuration:

http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/centos/5/i386

How do I do this?

Howdy tc,

What error did you get from the install script?

Adding a yum repo doesn't have anything to do with rsync...just run the following:

rpm -ivh http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/centos/5/i386/virtualmin-release-late...

But, that's not going to make your life very easy...getting the install script working is a far better option.
