I took the RHCSA certification exam and Question 2 required me to create a local repo. I executed the command "yum config-manager --add-repo / path / to / AppStream", but when I executed the commands "yum clean all" and "yum install httpd", I was required to "subscription manager regisrty". I informed the supervisor about this. But he said that I was wrong. I told them that they had to solve it. And I did not move on to the next task in the exam. It took me a lot of time. I wrote to the person who sent the exam results. they also just send me exam results. Where can I apply for this?

  • Is this a permissions issue? Why do you expect us to solve this if your certification folks could not? If not, please [edit] your question and include all the steps you ran and what the exact output was; we need a [mcve]. Don't paraphrase errors, google them instead. – Robert Jun 02 '22 at 16:40

You cannot use that command in RHCSA exam.You have to add repo manually.

You need to create a repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/, These are the steps to create a local repo.

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/     #create a new file here. 
                          #yum config looks in this folder when searching for repositories              
                          #configure file as seen below with the given repo urls and name. 

[AppStream]                                        #this is just a tag name
name=AppStream                                     #name of repo
baseurl=https://whatever.xyz.redhat.com/AppStream  #url of repo you are given
gpgcheck=0                                         #this tells yum to not check gpgkeys for repo
enable=1                                           #this enables the local repo

yum clean all

This should work to have yum recognize the repos you want to connect to and install from. you may need to also log into the repo using

subscription-manager register       #hit enter to add username and password.

Hopes this helps.
