I've been at it for couple of days - I'm running live sites on the server and usually, I hire someone to do the tweaks for me but after setting up ssh login only I try to do everything myself. I was updating kernel and came across yum missing headers error - long story short I ended up deleting all files in the /etc/yum.repos.d except for CentOS-Base.repo and I have no idea how the server is still alive but I'm assuming it's not saved setting due to firewall. This is the error and yum-config-manager result
Now every command I could find on Google relating fixing/restoring yum repository ends up with error
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: addons/7
