Hi all,

Sorry as I am really new to this.
Currently trying to do this for my school project.

RHEL 7
Unable to yum install ansible/vsftpd

Picture of the error I am having.

Sorry, I am not allowed to dup threads...?
I really really need help.

Probably best to try a few basics. Is this a school computer? If not, how did you set up the computer?

Why RHEL? Do you have support (in which case ask them).

If you could tell us something about your background and your study then this may help

Please read the “welcome” link in my sig... I’ve responded in the other thread.

I am student, totally green on Redhat.
Currently using RHEL7 on Oracle VM Virtualbox as it is the requirement for my class.
My current target goal for the project is to either install Ansible or DNS server and client.

Hi scasey, understood I will remove the other thread.

The mods will have to do that. I've responded again there. I'll repeat here, because they may decide this is the better forum...

Have you contacted Red Hat?
Do you have a subscription to Red Hat?
If you don't have a subscription, you can't install packages.

epel repo enabled? Sorry I do not really get this part

so far, I did yum list, ansible is there.

as for the subscription, no
So far from my lecture notes they did not mention about it
my class only provided the ISO

Red Hat is a "paid for" distribution. You can download the ISO for free but you need to pay for support to install any updates and this could be the problem you are running in to. I really don't know how this works but maybe the school has a subscription you can use?

If you do not have subscription for RHEL, your best bet is to use CentOS: https://www.centos.org/download/

"Error 404 - not found" is what you are getting, so check the repos "yum repolist"

You need to read forum rules, and while we understand you 'really really' need help, we are VOLUNTEERS. Spamming the forum with duplicates of the same post doesn't get you help faster, but only clutters the forum and keeps volunteers from helping others.
I seriously doubt your class requirement is to use Red Hat Enterprise 7, unless they have a paid-for copy they're giving you for use in the class. And a brief look at the Ansible documentation (did you READ IT?), says that you can install it on Fedora, which is totally free:

Hi,

As I can see behind of your error's picture, your RedHat CDROM is mounted.
So your packages will be available locally.

1. Look where the CDROM is mounted (/mnt/cdrom or /mnt/media/cdrom or somewhere else). Il you don't find it use the command "mount | grep -i cdrom"

2. As root, create a repo file cdrom.repo in the /etc/yum.repo.d directory with the following info :

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/cdrom.repo
# This a repo to get package from a install CDROM

[cdrom]
name=RedHat 7.6 CDROM repo
baseurl=file:///mnt
enabled=1
gpcheck=0
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-legacy-release

3. Replace in the file, the mount point of your CDROM (baseurl=file:///<mount point>

4. yum install ansible

Good luck

...and without the paid subscription to Red Hat Enterprise, nor the Ansible repository enabled, nothing posted here will work...Ansible isn't on the DVD.
