[ale] Trying to create a CentOS update repository.

[Chris Fowler]

I'm trying to create a CentOS update repository and am running into a
few issues.

I'm following these instructions 

http://idolinux.blogspot.com/2008/09/centos-update-server-and-local.html

But yum on the client is looking for a file that does not exist.

[root at sam yum.repos.d]# yum list updates
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: vmserver.opsdc.com
 * local: vmserver.opsdc.com
 * update: vmserver.opsdc.com
http://vmserver.opsdc.com/CentOS/5/os/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno
14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
base. Please verify its path and try again

Is there a step that these instructions leave off?

For example the instructions ay to copy /mnt/CentOS but never says to
copy /mnt/repodata
