I updated to FC4 last night. I'm using the RH

up2date

with

http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/

as my mirror.

When I click on "Launch up2date" it comes back

with

"There was a fatal error communicating with the
server.  The message was:

An HTTP error occurred:
URL:

http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/headers/header.info

Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found

It seems that it is looking for a "headers" folder
that doesn't exist in the FC4 updates as it did in
FC3.
I can't locate where I need to edit this.

You missed to search for this issue in the list
archive of the last few
days.
Use the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.rpmnew file as
the repository format
changed and up2date has to reflect that. You old
sources file has
obsolete entries.

I changed all the rpmnew files over but still get the
same error.
It keeps looking for a "headers" folder.
Is this configured somewhere?

Ensure that your sources file contains the line:

### Repo Metadata
# Note that setting this makes up2date look in /etc/yum.repos.d/ for
# repository configuration.
# type channel-label url
repomd fedora http://fedora.redhat.com/

and of course you'll need to ensure that your /etc/yum.repos.d contains the .repo files
if it does not, you may need to download and install the fedora-release.rpm using:

rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs fedora-release.noarch.rpm
