CentOs Doesn't Update Automaticly...

**dkz** · 01-12-2005 11:39 AM

Hello,

When cPanel does it's automatic updates, centos won't update. It shows the error below. It looks like that mirror is down for good because this has been a problem for a while. Does anybody have a suggestion to fix it? Also, I turned off automatic updates but it keeps updating every nite by it self. I turned it off in WHM.

Code:

retrygrab() failed for:
  http://mirror.aelix.com/pub/cAos/centos-3/3.3/os/i386/headers/header.info
  Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try

Check your yum.conf and update your mirrors, i believe the one your using is no longer available. A list of mirrors can be found here:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinyco...ndex.php?id=13

Here's an example of one off of one of our servers:

Code:

[main]
exclude=mod_ssl* httpd* perl mysql* php*
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-enterprise kernel-debug kernel-unsupported kernel-smp-unsupported kernel-hugemem-unsupported
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=http://acmserver.cs.ucr.edu/centos/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
        http://caos.oregonstate.edu/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
        http://sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/caos/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/

#released updates

        http://caos.oregonstate.edu/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
        http://sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/caos/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/

#packages used/produced in the build but not released
[addons]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons
baseurl=http://acmserver.cs.ucr.edu/centos/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/
        http://caos.oregonstate.edu/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/
        http://sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/caos/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/

#additional packages that may be useful
[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
baseurl=http://acmserver.cs.ucr.edu/centos/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
        http://caos.oregonstate.edu/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/
        http://sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/caos/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/

Comes in handy to have a couple mirrors at least for a fallback.
