Hello and thanks for any help you can give me:

I'm running Fedora 15 and wasn't having a problem with Yum until I started trying to install and configure bind. I know I've screwed something up. I finally figured out how I can set up DNS with webmin but before I could do that I tried to uninstall bind so I could do a fresh install/configure. Now the yum command isn't working. Following is the error:

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

I've ran the:
yum clear all

no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greg

Perhaps I'm being a bit dumb here but why do you have those two entries in your hosts file? Did you put them there? There's also no entry for the IP of your PC, who removed that? Are you (I'm assuming your are) behind a NAT router or firewall and are you on a fixed or dynamic IP? What's in your resolv.conf file? Can you ping any of the repositories from a terminal session?

can you manually browse the repositories on the browser?

and you can try this one

Thanks for the replies. The two lines in my hosts file were added by me. Maybe they're not needed. I saw this showing up in several posts when searching for an answer so I gave it a try. My IP was there but I removed it. It was added when configuring BIND I assumed so I removed it when I was trying to uninstall BIND and was planning on reinstalling BIND using the Webmin tool. This is a fixed IP and I have the firewall turned off. Like I mentioned, yum was previously working.

Yes I can see the repository when using my browser. It's like yum can't see the outside world.

Deep, where would I use/put that command?

Thanks,
Greg

I tried the change and got the same result.

resolv.conf file below:
# Automatically generated by OnApp (2.2.0.2)
127.0.0.1
208.79.77.119

Any help would be appreciated. I firmly believe something got screwed up with in did a remove bind. The server can't get to repository.

quite surprising that you use 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf
Is your resolv.conf file correct? I mean 208.79.77.119
format should be
did you tried
I would like to see the complete error message which you get and

If possible you can post a snapshot

I added my IP address before the last post. It wasn't there.

I have tried clean all and update. Same error. Nothing is showing up in the log file messages.
I added nameserver in front of my IP address in resolv.conf. Same error.

Can I see the log files?

Probably more than you want to see. Its all the info from the reboot. No error messages.

[root@Greg-Galloway /]#

This last reboot was prior to trying yum clean all and yum update.

[root@Greg-Galloway /]# yum update
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
[root@Greg-Galloway /]#

I get the error above but nothing is in the /var/log/messages file.

Thanks again for the help.

Have you changed your DNS?

It seems your DNS is unable to locate the repository url

and as you said you are able to browse the repository on browser on the same DNS?

Yes I'm sure my DNS has been messed up. I was in the process of trying to manually configure/install bind and named when I decided it would be best to do the install from the Webmin tool. I tried to remove bind and then reinstall it. That's when I noticed the problem with yum. I'm not sure where to go from here / what files to check and what they should look like. Can you give me some direction to make sure the basic DNS function that works after a fresh Fedora install is set up properly?

Thanks,
Greg

The game I have running on the server is working. The teamspeak program is running. I enter my ip address into my browser and get to my website. I'm sure I messed up something when I removed bind. Can anyone give me suggestions on where to check in order to get yum working again so I can reinstall bind?

Thanks,
Greg

The following leads me to believe that part of the network setup is messed up:
[root@Greg-Galloway /]# ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
