I am totally a linux newbie.

I got my server yesterday.

I want to install Yum auto updater on my server (linux - dedicated) from my desktop (XP) using SSH and SFTP.

Could any body help me in this regard?

Also I am getting this error when I am trying to install Fantastico.


Fatal Error

The wget binaries "wget" can not be found. Please make sure you are submitting the full path including filename.

Please go back and retry.

:hey: :help:

boy you just made and ass of yourself. How do you expect a newbie to learn stuff if he doesn't have anywhere to turn for real help. For a non super tech person who's been using windows their entire life the concepts of needing to do all these steps to instal something manually are unheard of. Perhaps instead of giving that shitty response you should have helped him/her get started, then perhaps one day they could be a full fleged sysadmin.

How would I make it pick from another mirror? o.O; Always that I run yum update I get that.

Anither mirror would more likely be up and therefor no 404 error

Yes you need install python first I have question for you are you FDC customer ? Because all our FC4 servers coming with yum.

Try:
rpm -q python or rpm -q python*
find if is there any old python has been installed or not if yes, remove it first
rpm -e python or rpm -e python*

try install python now, also you need system administrator you have missing Header V3 DSA signature. If you cant solve this problem and need sys admin, my contact information under my sig.
