YUM [Errno 14] HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required

Please help me in this. Here is my scenario:

1) I have a physical windows machine which has a company proxy settings and needs authentication which is my windows username and password.
2) I have a VM with Oracle Linux 5 installed and using http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/Or.../latest/x86_64 repository for YUM.
3) I have added the below entries in /etc/yum.conf

Quote:

proxy=http://myproxyaddress:8080/
proxy_username=myusername
proxy_password=mypassword

and

Quote:

[root@machine oracle]# export http_proxy=”http://myproxyaddress:8080/”

3) When I try to use YUM I get below Error:

Quote:

[root@machine oracle]# yum update

Loaded plugins: security

http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/Or...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required

Trying other mirror.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: el5_latest. Please verify its path and try again

How to resolve this? Please help.

you are using port 8080

proxy=http://myproxyaddress:8080/

but going to port 80

[root@machine oracle]# export http_proxy=”http://yourproxyaddress:80/”

Sorry, its a typing mistake. I am using 8080 only. Why is it not working?
