Yum with proxy
After reading that the HTTP_PROXY variable is used by yum, I edited the variable to the proxy of choice (with port number) and yum still doesn't work. I then edited the yum.conf file with 'proxy=http://example.com:80' and still no luck.
Firefox works fine with it and I've checked the mirrors and files are there, however it keeps coming back with: [ser@fed-full ~]$ sudo yum install make Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mir...a-10&arch=i386 error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again [ser@fed-full ~]$ |
F10? Might be time for an upgrade...
If I remember correctly, I had problems with yum and proxy with Fedora some time ago. The "proxy=..." configuration option may be more recent. You could try: sudo http_proxy='http://whatever.com:8080' yum install make i.e. explicit variable set, lower-case variable name. If all else fails, check out the root environment for clues. sudo env --DaveG. |
I also have a http_proxy line in my .bashrc
Code:
export http_proxy=http://user:password@IP_OF_PROXY:port Just a couple more suggestions in case there are usernames or passwords involved. |
