Cent OS update failing.
Posted by dlewis23, 06-24-2008, 11:23 PM I'm having a problem with my CentOS 5 box. for some reason the update will not work. I run yum update, The update starts, then when it gets too downloading the packages I get the following error for every single RPM. http://mirror.iweb.ca/centos/5/os/i3...5.el5.i386.rpm : [Errno 4] IOError: Trying other mirror. The RPM's can be downloaded just fine if I copy and past that URL in my browser. I don't understand why the server can't open that URL Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is anyone else at iWeb having the same problem. Thanks
Posted by Srv24x7, 06-25-2008, 12:57 AM Have you tried to substitute your choice of mirror sites in yum.conf file , Try this [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ #released updates [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/ #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/ #packages in testing #[testing] #name=CentOS-$releasever - Testing #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/
Posted by dlewis23, 06-25-2008, 09:51 AM That worked perfectly. Thank you. I figured that is what I would have to do, I just couldn't find who could tell me how to do it.
