I have just installed CentOS 5.3 on an old PC hoping to use it as a web server.
I have been following the guide below as I am relatively new to Linux:
[url=http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.1-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig]http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.1-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig[/url]
When I try to run 'yum update' it fails with the below output:
[code]
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Determining fastest mirrors
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
[/code]
I am pretty sure the internet connection is working fine, as I can successfully ping 'google.com' with these results:
[code]
PING google.com (74.125.67.100) 56(84) bytes of data.

[/code]
I have been scouring the internet for a couple of days and have not found anything that has fixed my problem.
A few place suggested editing the file '/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo' and removing a hash (#) from the line beginning '#baseurl=' but this did not fix my problem. However, the output from 'yum update' changed to:
[code]
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>

[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>

[/code]
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Uncommenting the BaseURL might help, but as you can see yum still tries to fetch the mirrorlist. You need to comment out the mirrorlist entry (ie. put a # in front of it) to work correctly. Could you also paste your entire CentOS-Base.repo file if that still doesnt work ?

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
I have commented out the 'mirrorlist=...' line now, and this is the contents of my 'CentOS-Base.repo' file:
[code]
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
Weird. I'm no YUM expert but my guess is that it uses CURL under the hood.
Does this work ? :
curl http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/

I am guessing this is what it should have been but I have never heard of the curl command.

I am guessing this is what it should have been but I have never heard of the curl command.

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
I take it you have tried running yum clean all and then retried running yum update ?
You can try to figure out what goes wrong with strace. I don't think its installed by default in CentOs so you might have to install it from CD/ DVD. After its installed you can run
strace yum update
after which your screen will be flooded :-) But it gives insight into what is happening.

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
It appears that strace was installed along with CentOS but I lost the majority of the output (scrolled off the top of the screen) so I am going to try and save it to a log file.
I will post the output as soon as I can.

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
I have been running 'yum clean all' every time before 'yum update'.
Here is a link to the output of 'strace yum update':

--EDIT--
I have looked through the output now, but I can not make head nor tail out of it.

Re: Yum update error - connection timed out
Are you using a proxy server? If so, is the yum.conf file set up properly?
