Yum doesn't see Packages from local repo (DVD)

[Benik3]

Hello there.

I'm new to CentOS and I have a problem for which I didn't find any solution.
I installed successfully CentOS on Hyper-V virtual machine. Now I want to try to install packages from local repo (from the installation DVD).
I used this guide for creating local repo: https://www.tecmint.com/install-gui-in-rhel-centos-7/
I made the dir, mounted the DVD to it (I can see files in the folder), I made the local.repo config (and even tried CentOS-Media.repo), but still yum repolist all show enabled: 0.
Any idea?

Thank you very much

Show us /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo (or whatever you called it). Both its contents and its permissions. Also show the stanzas from /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo for [base] and [updates].

Hello.
For some reason two attached pictures get lost.
Anyway I found now the cause - problem is that I didn't disable the internet repo and I expected, that it will simply continue to check the next repo
So after using

Code: Select all

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=local

it works.
Well another experience for me and maybe someone will find it useful in future

And that only worked because you had no files in your working directory To be sure, you need to escape the * or bash will expand it before it invokes the command - i.e. --disablerepo=\*
