Can someone please explain how to simply install yum on centos 4.3 vps?

This used to work on 3.7 without a problem (even 4.3 before!)
rpm -vi ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/3.6/...s.7.noarch.rpm

The above suddenly gives errors:

[root@user ~]# rpm -vi ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/3.6/...s.7.noarch.rpm

Got it.

You have to fetch and install all the dependencies. Centos-3.X has a single package for yum, but centos-4.x they moved repositories configuration to a dedicated package centos-yumconf

Install yum on centos 4x

wget http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4/apt/i386/RPMS.os/python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm
wget http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4/apt/i386/RPMS.os/python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh *rpm

if your host is using OpenVZ, just ask them to install yum onto your server, its dead easy i doubt they would have a problem

or try installing the yum conf first as its a dependancy file links as follows

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/centos-yumconf-4-4.5.noarch.rpm 

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.2-2.centos4.noarch.rpm

there may be other dependancies to look out for aswell

On the same vps I have a strange issue with APF

[root@user]# apf -r
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.


I am unable to start APF. I did restart iptables just fine.

Any help appreciated

APF conf is correct also:

SET_VNET="0"
SET_MONOKERN="1"

Try to change IFACE_IN and IFACE_OUT from "eth0" to "venet0"
