Re: headbeating continues

fwiw here are the errors i see.  the first two octets are masked by x and y.

attempt 1 client conf file

in a browser i enter:
http://x.y.124.179/yum/rel001/repodata/repomd.xml
and i get the xml data.

i've tried any number of combinations of url's in the client but i get either one or the other of the errors above.  permissions on the directories and files are apache:apache, 755.

any suggestions appreciated.
