Ah!  Okay, that helps!  Sorry for being dense.

BUT, now I download the epel-389-ds-base.repo
That's only for EL6

On EL5, everything is in the regular EPEL repositories - once you enable them, you don't have to do anything else.
into the yum.repos.d and I get:

[root@localhost SRPMS]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
[root@localhost SRPMS]# yum install 389-ds

Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from epel-389-ds-base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

And yes, I have tried the various cache invalidation techniques to no avail.  Searching for solutions yields little useful info.

Hi All,

I am following the instructions on http://port389.org/wiki/Download for EL5 (towards the bottom) and it would appear the URLs are bad.  There appears to be no port389.org/yum/blah.  I need to use EL5 - going to EL6 not yet an option.  Has anyone gotten this to work?  Pointers appreciated.

# yum install 389-ds

Those instructions are down at the bottom of the page and in a section titled
Old EL5 Package instructions
"As of December 18, 2009 there are current 389 packages in EPEL. Before 389 was available via EPEL, we provided a Fedora Core 6 yum repo for hosting the EL5 packages. The instructions below are for that repo."

That's apparently too confusing, so I'll just remove that section entirely.

Thanks
