Joelle, For FC4, you may need to change to baseurl= http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/os/$basearch, since FC4 is not officially supported by fedora any more. For FC5, actually I have similar problem recently. At beginning, it only happens for my FC5 upgraded from FC$. So I thought it may related to the upgrade. But now it won't work even with freshly installed FC5. Here is the typical errors I got, yum list updates Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories core [1/3] Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core This is with standard config as [core] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch #baseurl= http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY If I point the baseurl to one particular site, such as [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl= http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ it gives me errors like yum list updates Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories base [1/1] http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (2, 'No such file or directory')> Trying other mirror. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. In both cases, I runs yum-2.6.1-0.fc5. Because now this happens to almost all my FC5 boxes (at home and work), I am just wandering if I am missing something recently. Any advice, please?
