Yum Update Fails

[rickrod99]

Guys,

Thank you for having me here. I was wondering if one of you could help me out. I just did a fresh install of Centos 5.4 and I tried to run Yum Update and it failed. Here is the results of running the command:

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centosplus. Please verify its path and try again

I have looked through the forums searching for a solution but I have tried all and nothing seems to work. I can resolve all these URLs. I thought it might have been an issue with my DNS but I can resolve other domain names.

Any suggestions would be helpfull.

# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the

No sorry. That didn't work. Here is the thing. They all say something like http://mirror.ubiquityservers.com/centos/5.4/addons/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403: Forbidden but when you try to access the actual document it is available on the web. So I don't understand why it says 403.

[AlanBartlett]

Is there a proxy-server involved at all?

If yes, please see the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM#head-ea1fc5d78f578114f4843e57627ebae9cc4fcb5a]Using Yum With A Proxy Server[/url] article in the [i]CentOS[/i] wiki.

[rickrod99]

No guys there is no proxy server at all. I also thought it might have been the firewall but I have since turned it off.

[toracat]

Can you try the yum command with the added [b]--enablerepo=base,updates[/b] option and see what happens?

[chuina]

or, better try is:
[code][b]yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,updates update[/b][/code]
