The way I upgraded to 7.4 was as follows. First make sure that /etc/yum/vars contains the files releasever and slreleasever. The former should have the major version number, i.e., 7:
# cat /etc/yum/vars/releasever 7 The later may have the latest minor version, e.g.: # cat /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever 7.3 Edit /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever and change it to 7.4: # cat /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever 7.4 If you want to have always the latest version then replace 7.4 with 7x above: # cat /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever 7x Then you can do the usual upgrade: # yum clean all # yum update etc. Then check that the upgrade was sucessful: # cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 7.4 (Nitrogen) That worked for me. - Miguel A.

What command are you running to upgrade, what is the output/error you are getting, etc? Just to clarify, it is yum-conf-sl7x, correct?
