在Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 上配置YUM本地源時，遇到了"Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory xxxx",花了點時間搞清楚錯誤的來龍去脈。特此記錄一下：
將RedHat 5.7的光盤鏡像拷貝到了/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc目錄下，配置了rhel-media.repo文件，如下所示
[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# more rhel-media.repo
[media]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
執行yum clean all命令後，執行yum makecache遇到了下面錯誤：
[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# yum clean all

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: media. Please verify its path and try again
[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]#
出現這個錯誤的根本原因在於RHEL 5.x 版本與RHEL 6.x 版本的rpm包存放路徑不同：
RHEL 5.x : ../Server 例如：我案例環境位於/mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server 下。
RHEL 6.x : ../Packages
所以還在於上面的baseurl參數設置錯誤。那麼我們可以通過兩種方法解決這個問題：
方法1：配置正確的baseurl參數。
[root@DB-Server yum.repos.d]# vi rhel-media.repo
[media]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///mnt/cdrom/LinuxSrc/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
方法2：使用createrepo命令創建本地源目錄，將其指向baseurl指定的目錄
[root@DB-Server Server]# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm
