Yum through http proxy
- by eodchop
Hello,
I have several Fedora 13 servers that have to connect through an http proxy for yum updates. All port 80 traffic has to be routed through this proxy. I have setup the proxy server in the network settings GUI. I can browse the internet just fine. I have also setup my proxy information in /etc/yum.conf as follows:
proxy=http:proxy.largecorp.corp/accelerated_pac_base.pac
proxy_user=user
proxy_password=password
I then added the export HTTP_PROXY="http:proxy.largecorp.corp/accelerated_pac_base.pac" to /etc/bashrc and sourced the file.
When i run yum update:
Loaded plugins:presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) fro repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again.
All of the repo urls are the defaults, as this is a fresh install.
