[CentOS] INSTALLING UPDATES-PROXY PROBLEM

[Prabhpal S. Mavi]

Hi, although it is not a O/S level problem. Your server just cannot get to
Internet, just check why. Too many possibilities are there, bad user name
or password wrong port number, system wide proxy variable configured, your
ip is in squid deny list.

Thanks : Regards
