Hi friends,
I am using RHEL5 . I have tried to create the local repo using createrepo rpm.But i have been facing a lot of errors and it is not working well. Can somebody tell me how to create the local repo?
Thank you in advance.

Copy the RPM files to your server and run "createrepo" utility.
Example:
i can say what i do 
# cp /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/my.repo
edit and change your yum path location
for exa my repo file
# vi my.repo
[-----yucelgemici-x64-packages-----]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux x64 -x64 Systems - Debug
baseurl=file:///Server/x64
# baseurl=http://myhttpserverIP/x64 --> for http
# baseurl=ftp://myftpserverIP/myrpmfullpath --> for ftp
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
for example and i cp rpm files to my local disk in /Server/x64 dir
for this i use nfs with /etc/exports
# cat /etc/exports
/Server 192.168.255.128(rw,async,no_root_squash)
and create repo
# cd /Server/x64
# createrepo .
let clear all cache and headers
# yum clean all
list our repos
# yum repolist
