Where did you download the rpms to? Was it "/root/local/"?<br>

</div>No, don't do that, you have to use the OOB method of naming the repos in<br>
[repos].<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was following this documentation <a href="http://cainmanor.com/tech/build-a-custom-repository-for-centos/" target="_blank">http://cainmanor.com/tech/build-a-custom-repository-for-centos/</a> and they had this extra step to create .repo file. so . </div>
