Problem 1. yum repo responding with [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden on the client when you run the yum repolist

Solution:

You need to disable SELinux or set it to permissive mode on the repo server.

# setenforce permissive
# getenforce //to verify it is set to permissive.

Problem 2.

# createrepo -g comps.xml /var/www/html/repos/centosplus/

Error: group file /var/www/html/repos/centosplus/comps.xml cannot be found.

solution: The problem was with the syntax of the command, so the correct version syntax is:

# createrepo /var/www/html/repos/centosplus/ -g comps.xml

Had a problem with nginx reporting ‘[Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden’ on the clients.

Confirmed all file access permissions correct.

Resolved by running:

# chcon -Rt httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/repos/

and restarting nginx.

It’s an SELinux permissions problem.
