Hi all,
I'm having a problem using Yum. It did work previously and I have found a crummy workaround, but I really want Yum to work properly. This is on a CentOS 5 machine. Here is the output of the "yum list updates" command
Code:
[root@computer yum.repos.d]# yum list updates
Loading "downloadonly" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: //var/cache/yum/base/mirrorlist.txt
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
It looks like it's pulling down a web page and trying to parse that to use it as the mirror list for yum. What confuses me even more is that I can either go the http link in a web browser or use wget and the proper file is retrieved. As I said, I've used the wget to pull down a file and then point the mirrorlist to that file, but it's a kludgey workaround for something that should work properly.
Here it the repo file used by yum:
Code:
[root@computer yum.repos.d]# cat CentOS-Base.repo
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

# Default.
# installonly_limit = 3
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo

I'm wondering if there is a proxy somewhere that is messing with my request, but I don't know how to check for that. Thanks for any help!
