Hi,
I am unable to get yum working behind a proxy with authentication. Wget
works fine with:
http_proxy=http://my.proxy.intern:8080
proxy-user=user
proxy-password=pass
But if I enter in /etc/yum.conf:
proxy=http://my.proxy.intern:8080/
proxy_username="user"
proxy_password="pass"
(or without the quotes, with or without the trailing slash)
I get:
[root@server yum.repos.d]# yum list
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/51/x86_64/SL/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
sl-base. Please verify its path and try again
Running a tcpdump reveals no connection to the proxy at all by yum. I
thought it could be a DNS problem, the machine itself can't do DNS
lookups, only the proxy can do that. I have used the ip address, used
/etc/hosts, used tinydns to serve linuxsoft.cern.ch, but it didn't help.
I have put the proxy in /etc/yum.conf and/or in the repo file, doesn't
help. Wget doesn't complain about the lack of DNS. It just leaves that
to the proxy and that works fine:
[root@server yum.repos.d]# wget

I have no environment variables regarding proxies. It doesn't help if I
do, either.
Does anyone have a clue?
thanks,
Gerben
