Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
This is a list for CentOS, not Fedora. You'll get better help if you post to the right lists :-)
Sorry, I should have said that my server is running Centos-5.3. If there is a problem on my system, it is at the server. I ran wget on the server, and got the same result. I also get the same result for EPEL:
[tim@helen ~]$ sudo yum update Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities, protect- packages, protectbase Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=x86_64 error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epel
using the mirrorlist line in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo : mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearchkk
Also wget fails similarly:
[tim@helen ~]$ wget http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist --14:43:39-- http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.176.122 Connecting to mirrors.fedoraproject.org|209.132.176.122|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 14:43:39 ERROR 404: Not Found.
This machine is running x86_64 CentOS:
[tim@helen ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
It does work for me i get the mirrorlist when i request the url in a browser. Try a different host (from the ip's below) as that is a round robin address
mirrors.fedoraproject.org is an alias for wildcard.fedoraproject.org. wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 66.35.62.166 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 80.239.156.215 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 152.46.7.222 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.176.120
