#  This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
#  It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
[root@localhost home]#

Answer 1

The error is pretty clear from yum:

http://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/%24releaserver/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found"

There isn't a file at the other end of that URL for yum to download, hence the 404. Put that URL in your browser and start to navigate to see what files are actually there.

This is the correct URL when I browse their repo:

• http://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/6/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

I suspect they moved things but didn't regenerate the repomd.xml file. You can work around the issue by downloading the packages manually and then using yum install .. to install things.

Typo

But I think there's a typo in your repo file:

baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releaserver/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/

Should be this:

baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/

Answer 2

It happens if your repo configurations are dirty.

Try this

sudo rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/mongod*
sudo yum clean all

Then create repo again

sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.4.repo

Then add this:

[mongodb-org-3.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2013.03/mongodb-org/3.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.4.asc

Then run the following command:

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

Answer 3

I resolved this issue by removing the /$releaserver and replaced 7Server in the link http://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/ so try to replace that link with this change.

Answer 4

Cleaning the cache worked for me:

sudo yum clean all
