'yum update' error - Cannot retrieve repository metadata

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After a fresh install of CentOS 5.3, 'yum update' has been been failing to run.  I have posted this problem on the CentOS forums, which can be found at this link:
 
 
The people on that forum have been very helpful so far but have run out of ideas why it is not working.  One member suggested that I come here to see if anyone is able to help.
 
When I run 'yum update' now the output is as follows:
 
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Determining fastest mirrors
http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/centos/5/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.
