Yum update producing 503 Service Unavailable error

lce411 · 03-07-2013, 12:29 PM

Hi,

I've exhausted all my ideas and spent some time on Google only to come up short of resolving this. We stood up a new server in our environment, added it to DNS and tried to do a 'yum update' but got the below error. (All the output is from URLGRABBER being turned on to help troubleshoot). We are going through a proxy, but those settings and all the config files have been checked and re-checked. I have also removed iptables from the equation and got the same results.

Code:

All the other servers in this environment process all yum requests just fine.

.. have you set your proxy for http and https? I'm guessing that the proxy is where the 503 is coming from, check the squid logs.
