Yum

[Carlosinfl]

Why is YUM still down ... ? Am I the only one getting this error still? How can I resolve this or must I wait till the server is back up?

Is there a YUM mainsite?

[root@carlwill root]# yum update

Change what server yum is connecting to for updates. Looks like apt.sw.be is down for the moment.

 

[Carlosinfl]

I am not sure how I can change that?

gedit /ect/yum.conf

What server do I replace it with?

 

[Carlosinfl]

anyone?

 

[Thetargos]

anyone?

Why not the official one?

baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch

 

[Carlosinfl]

This is my /etc/yum.conf

I guess I need to modify the url on the last 2 entries?

You can comment out altogether the conflicting server (in this case the last one)

 

[Carlosinfl]

I have no changed the URL's on the last 2 and it seems to work now -

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release

[Thetargos]

Yes, though you may have wanted to keep the old baseurl line... to check when the server would come back on-line.

 

[Carlosinfl]

Why would I want to change it back if this one works? Is the other URL better or something?

 

[Thetargos]

I thought you used the other one for a special reason of some sort or something.

 

[Carlosinfl]

I was just told to add those from the fedoraforum.org = maybe Ill ask them if this is cool to leave alone.

 

[Thetargos]

I usually only add sources that I trust to my yum.conf file, so that was no surprise to see in yours the ayo.freshrpms.net servers, but if you live in the US or in the American continent, searching content on european servers is not what you'd call efficient.
