Hi,

I have no problem running yum update inside the root prompt, but when

running yum using sudo as logged-in as ordinary user and command the 'sudo yum update', I am having below error:

Could not retrieve mirrorlist

http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge error was

[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmforge

This happened even I try to export my proxy server since where using

them to connect internet. This is in a newly installed CentOS5 box. I also try to issue 'yum clean metadata' and 'yum clean all' but the problem still persists. Can you please give me the clue on how to solve this.

Thanks,

Is this appening even if you put the proxy=http://<host>:<port> directive on /etc/yum.conf ?

Lorenzo Quatrini ----------------------------- Hi Lorenzo,

I answered this a while ago and I am very fast in answering your suggestion not waiting the result of my command because it froze a while. Actually it works using your directive. So it must be proxy instead of http_proxy.

Thank you very much,
