Dear All,

 

Quick question: I am currently having issues with "yum", I recently
updated centos 5 server using the command 

 

# yum update 

 

Yum was working fine till, before the update,

 

When I try to use yum now I am getting the following error,

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

[root at pet ~]# yum list all

Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Setting up repositories

Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=extras error was

[Errno 14] HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable

Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: extras

[root at pet ~]#

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

 

I tried to google on this but I seem to be running out of luck!! 

 

Could some one please help me solve this issues?

 

BTW: I am quite new to Linux Systems Administration, Gee Man I love
CentOS so much, 

 

I will summarise the solution  

 

Thanks for all your help in Advance,
