1-prereqs issue - missing packages

Hello. I'm getting the following errors when running the ./1-prereqs script. Has anyone else encounter and resolved this issue. I can hunt down the missing packages on my own, but I'd like to get the script working. Thanks.

I'm running redhat 5.3.

Did you get any error output when you ran the 0-yum script? It seems like there's at least one repo missing with so many packages unavailable.

Can you do a yum install httpd? If that doesn't work your not even getting your redhat packages. Does a yum update work?

I didn't get any errors when running 0-yum.

I get the following.

[root@localhost xi]# yum update httpd
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

The server isn't registered with redhat. Yum update doesn't work. The only repositories that I have enabled are the ones created by the 0-yum script.

Well, you'll need to remedy that first. We add supplemental repositories, but do not replace the base ones.

Thank you. I registered the server with redhat and I was able to complete 1-prereqs. Thanks all.
