Hi CentOS maintainers, In Hong Kong (HK) sometimes yum update would get "HTTP Error 503 - Service Unavailable", finally I found that running "yum -y update" after "Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile", while yum selects a mirror " repo.virtualhosting.hk", 95% chance will get error 503. How to duplicate problem: Since yum will select yum server from different mirror servers automatically, so I updated /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo as below in order to force checking on "repo.virtualhosting.hk": ======================================================== [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://repo.virtualhosting.hk/centos/7/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://repo.virtualhosting.hk/centos/7/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras baseurl=http://repo.virtualhosting.hk/centos/7/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://repo.virtualhosting.hk/centos/7/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 ======================================================== # yum -y update ...

However, if I try to manually update the failed package (e.g. bind-libs like above) by "yum -y update bind-libs" , it will be success. It means the package exists in mirror server repo.virtualhosting, however somehow the server limits the HTTP request and return error 503, can CentOS mirror admin inform this mirror admin to fix the problem? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
