Amahi Forums

Hi,

This is my first time installing Amahi (using the express CD) and I keep on getting the following error during the installation process:

Error: Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has bee correctly generated.
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository. Fedora 14. Please verify its path and try again.

I've read on some forums that this may be due to a connectivity issue, but I have disabled all my firewall rules, ensure the machine is getting an IP address and gone as far as connecting directly to my cable modem with no luck (still getting stalled at the same point).

I've already spent hours and hours researching on the internet, intending to install Amahi 30+ times and am getting to the point where I'm about to give up. You guys are my last hope, please let me know if there's anything i can try.

Thanks,

Sorry I'm new at this, should I repost this issue in installation?

Thanks,

Also, if you do not desire to run Amahi headless, recommend you do the Full DVD install. We have seen fewer install issues.

Thank you, I will give that a try and let you know how it goes.

bigfoot: I was experiencing this same issue, and what fixed it for me was clicking "Edit" when the error came up and changing the respiratories from "https" to "http". Not sure if you know this already, but thought I'd post this somewhere in hope it'll help someone.

Thanks for the info. Which repos does this affect? Might be a good thing for us to put in the wiki for Express CD troubleshooting.

It was both the main Fedora 14 Repo and the Fedora 14 Update Repo. Thankyou for the reply!
