Steps:

1. Copy Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 DVD ISO RHEL5-Client-20070208.0-i386-DVD.iso from Red Hat Network and create a local repository on the local Repository server. 

   
    #mkdir -p /var/www/html/cdrom/iso
    #mount -o loop /RHEL5-Client-20070208.0-i386-DVD.iso
    /var/www/html/cdrom/iso
    #cd /var/www/html/cdrom
    #createrepo .
    #yum clean all
    Created a file /etc/yum.repos.d/file.repo as follows:
    

      

   
    #cat /etc/yum.repos.d/file.repo
    [RHEL 5 Repository]
    baseurl=file:///cdrom
    enabled=1
    

    

2. Share with httpd: 

   
    # vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    ServerAdmin root@10.65.6.141
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    ServerName 10.65.6.141
    

   (Where 10.65.6.141 is the local Repository server)
    
    

   
    # httpd -t
    # service httpd start
    

    

3. Client side configuration: 

   
    vi /etc/yum.repos.d/my.repo
    ----
    [RH51-Server]
    name= RHEL 5.1 Server Repository
    baseurl=http://10.65.6.141/cdrom
    enabled=1
    ----
    

    

4. Verify from client: 

   
    # yum list
