CPanel installation on Azure CentOS, gcc install fails

  • 772

I am trying to install CPanel on a Centos VM on windows azure. Yum is failing to install gcc, which is required by the cpanel installer.

I am getting this

Error: Package: glibc-2.12-1.80.el6.i686 (base)
2013-02-22 13:08:24  709 (DEBUG):                Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-1.80.el6

2013-02-22 13:08:24  709 (DEBUG):                    glibc-common = 2.12-1.80.el6_3.6
2013-02-22 13:08:24  709 (DEBUG):                Available: glibc-common-2.12-1.80.el6.x86_64 (base)

I think the main issues stems from the fact that I had to comment out my updates repository because it was constantly giving errors.

Centos 6.3 azure update repo

#released updates
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://olcentgbl.trafficmanager.net/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

Gives the following constant errors

Could you please post some advice?

    The people who built that virtual machine image disabled updating it by the simple expedient of running their own CentOS mirror, which they don't keep in sync with upstream, and then altering the yum configuration to only use their mirror.

    As you've noticed, their mirror repository isn't exactly perfect.

    You can replace their yum configuration files (in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory) with ones from a standard CentOS system, which is what I did.

    Keep in mind that if you do this, you will no longer get updates to the Hyper-V Integration Services package that is in their repository; you'll have to update that yourself manually. You also will need to update the Windows Azure Linux Agent yourself from Microsoft's github.
