Errors YUM in EasyApache | How to Resolve

Running into YUM errors while running EasyApache is a common occurrence. It has the power to put a stop to the process and disrupt our server’s functionality.

This is why our experts have put together a couple of solutions to help you get sorted. Today, we are going to explore common YUM errors during EasyApache and look at the solutions to get our server back on track.

Fix 1: Cleaning YUM Metadata and Packages

As soon as YUM throws an error during EasyApache, our experts suggest a quick cleanup as seen below:

# yum clean headers
# yum clean packages
# yum clean dbcache


Furthermore, we can also run these commands:

yum clean metadata
yum clean all

Fix 2: Addressing Package Manager Issues

Did you know that EasyApache relies on a well-functioning package manager?

Hence, it is a good idea to check if the package manager is up and running.

yum -y update

If this command fails, the RPM database may be corrupted. In that case, we can run these commands:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
rpm -vv –rebuilddb

Now, try updating YUM again.

Once we successfully update YUM, we can try to run EasyApache again.

Fix 3: OpenSSL Check and Reinstallation

In case the first two solutions did not solve the problem, OpenSSL issues may be at play. So now, we have to check for conflicts and resolve them with these commands:

file /usr/lib/openssl/engines/libsureware.so from install of openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_5.7.i386 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_5.7.i686
file /usr/lib/openssl/engines/libubsec.so from install of openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_5.7.i386 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_5.7.i686


Then, we have to reinstall OpenSSL as seen here:

rpm -e --justdb --nodeps openssl.i386
yum install openssl


Furthermore, we have to make sure we have installed the correct packages for our operating system’s bit version.

Additional Tips: YUM Errors Outside EasyApache 4

In case YUM issues persist beyond EasyApache 4, we can use these commands to reinstall and restart services:

yum reinstall ea-apache* -y
/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
