Hi there!  I have a mirror (https://mirrors.upr.edu https://mirrors.upr.edu) that serve CentOS and others repositories like EPEL, UBUNTU and REMI. While doing updates to my servers I notices that none of my servers are using my CentOS mirror, but for EPEL and REMI repositories’ works fine.

I check if is out of sync in https://mirror-status.centos.org/#pr https://mirror-status.centos.org/#pr but is looks OK. I check the logs file web and I notice very low activity to CentOS repository. I also try some «curl» test on my servers, and I never get my server:

There's something that I'm missing? Any Idea?

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the report, and I think that in fact mirrorlist would just be missing a map for nearby country for Puerto Rico . I have just created https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/298 ticket and assigned it to me to investigate and I'll report here when it will be fixed.

It seems that there is probably just something missing for the map/geoiplookup and so it defaults back to US mirrors instead of picking yours (which, as you said, is up2date and so should be used in mirrorlist)

Kind Regards,

Just had a look at crawler logs and the issue is :

500 Can't connect to mirrors.upr.edu:80 (timeout) ipv4 http://mirrors.upr.edu/centos/ going in timeout mirrors

Can't reach your mirror from mirror crawler, reason why it puts it in error state and isn't able to validate repositories and why it's absent from the generated mirrorlists

Maybe we can take that on a thread not on this list if you want to know the hops where it doesn't seem to work, so that you can ask your ISP about routing issue ?
