Hi,
I wasn't sure if I should reply to you as you seem to be doing a pretty
good job of helping your self here :-D.
But jokes aside, can you do a couple of checks?
Firstly, let's make sure this machine actually has a network connection
I've actually seen people spend hours trying to fix issues like yours
only to find they had no outside network connection..
$ ping 8.8.8.8
Do you get a ping response? If not, check network settings. If you do,
move on..
$ ping google.com
Does the domain resolve correctly? If not, check DNS settings. If you
do, move on..
Assuming both of those have worked, can you do the following:
$ mkdir temporary
$ cd temporary
$ wget
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock";
(Don't miss those quotes on the url, they are needed to ensure the &'s
do not confuse BASH/ZSH)
Now, what happened? Did it connect and download correctly? If so do the
following:
$ cat index.html\?release=6\&arch=x86_64\&repo=os\&infra=stock
You should basically get the mirror list:
http://mirrors.coreix.net/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://centos.serverspace.co.uk/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.melbourne.co.uk/sites/ftp.centos.org/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.vooservers.com/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.mhd.uk.as44574.net/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.clouvider.net/CentOS/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/ftp.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.cov.ukservers.com/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.as29550.net/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
With all of the above checks did you get expecting results including
domain resolution, ping response and the mirror list contents?
Kind Regards,
