Apparently CentOS-7 - Base is failing, what does that mean? How do I contact the upstream for the repo? How do I find a working upstream?

One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - Base), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable base 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=base.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2 from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://centos.corenetworks.net/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://centos.corenetworks.net/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30385 milliseconds') http://mirror.us.oneandone.net/linux/distributions/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.us.oneandone.net/linux/distributions/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30385 milliseconds') http://centos.sonn.com/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://centos.sonn.com/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30383 milliseconds') http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30383 milliseconds') http://mirror.clarkson.edu/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.clarkson.edu/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30383 milliseconds') http://mirror.thelinuxfix.com/CentOS/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.thelinuxfix.com/CentOS/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30383 milliseconds') http://mirrors.psychz.net/Centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirrors.psychz.net/Centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30383 milliseconds') http://repos.mia.quadranet.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://repos.mia.quadranet.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30384 milliseconds') http://mirrors.loosefoot.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirrors.loosefoot.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30384 milliseconds') http://mirror.supremebytes.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.supremebytes.com/centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64/repodata/3cda64d1c161dd0fead8398a62ef9c691e78ee02fe56d04566f850c94929f61f-filelists.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Resolving timed out after 30384 milliseconds') [root at localhost ~]# On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Dave Burns <tburns at hawaii.edu> wrote: > I just installed centos 7, yum is acting strange, experiencing RPC > time-outs.
