解决安装OpenVZ VPN出现Loaded plugins:fastestmirror的方法

具体的安装vpn方法可以看这里：http://blog.xaoyo.net/post/359

众所周知，如果想看墙的一些网站是需要跳墙的，想着有个buyvm年付128MB内存的VPS闲置着，就打算安装个VPN，如果出现了Loaded plugins:fastestmirror的错误提示。

当我yum install -y ppp iptables时却出现了如下提示错误的信息：

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

通过搜索试了下面的方法也不能解决办法：

yum clean all
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

其实方法很简单，找到下面这个文件。

/etc/yum.conf

将plugins设置为0就好了。

plugins=0

应该也能解决不能yum的问题。
