OK, first of all... yum.corn really amuses me.

First, try this url on your own in a browser. What do you get? If you don't get an error, try it from the same box that yum is running from. If you DO get an error, then either: a) your server is misconfigured, or b) you're telling yum to look in the wrong place However, connection refused suggests that the server isn't even taking connections, so I'm better your server is misconfigured. > When I run yum list it doesn't give me any error, "yum list" and "yum update" (for example) use the same servers, so I would expect you to get similar results. Unless, of course, you're running as a normal user or in cache-only mode. Then it won't contact the servers. -Michael -- Michael D.
