Trying to update a second CentOS box, I'm getting this error repeatedly:
[Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out
I'm getting this on every mirror and have gone through the list of
mirrors more than a dozen times.
Oddly, the RPMs I'm trying to upgrade I upgraded just yesterday without
a problem on another machine on the same LAN with no problems
whatsoever. I can ping mirrors fine.
There were a spate of these errors back in 2006. The fix for many was
to add this line to yum.conf:
timeout=300
So I did that on the machine where yum is having the problem, but the
same errors are returned.
I would start by trying to telnet to port 80 on these mirrors, see if it can establish a connection, if not, who's blocking it, iptables, etc.
