Standalone box and ISA proxy and yum update - zillah - 2007-01-22

With my box FC5 at work (Active Directory), I have been able to access the net , I have not logged in with my AD account , I logged in as username : root and password : forum,,,fake one (I know security implication, I have done this for test ).

First time when I tried to open a browser, window popped up asking me username and password for authentication to use internet (I entered my username: zillah and password:ad123 my active directory account,,,fake ), then I was able to browse the net.

When I tried to use the command below (via Terminal):

[root@local]#yum install yum (yumes),,,,It did not work, I believe because of the authentication (ISA proxy) that I mentioned above.

With the proxy , I followed the link below :

[/url][url=http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html]http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html

1- I added the line below to /etc/yum.conf

Code:
proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because our ISA uses 8080 proxy

proxy_username=zillah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake username

proxy_password=ad123,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake password

Then I tried to use this :

[root]#yum update yum,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I received this error :

Loading "installation" Plugin

Settingup Update Process

Setting up repositories

Can not find a valid baseurl for repo:case

Error: Cannot find valid baseurl for repo:core

2- I removed the configuration above and I tried these:

Code:
http_proxy=" http://zillah:ad123@proxy.ewrq.au:8080 "

export http_proxy

yum update

[root@localhost # yum update yum

You should be able to add those lines to yum.conf

Code:
proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080

proxy_username=zillah

proxy_password=ad123

And it should work, if it doesn't there might be something else at work!

Using the shell, not the yum configuration file do:

Code:
# export http_proxy="http://zillah:ad123@proxy.ewrq.au:8080"

# yum update

Notice this is run in the shell directory and no spaces around the proxy details!

Looking here:

Quote:ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: /etc/yum.conf[line 15]: 'export http_proxy\n'

[line 16]: 'yum update\n'

So you added the information into the configuration file, which is incorrect :)Hope all that makes sense!

Finally .. the issue might be with an ISA proxy, see the bugzilla discussion

Yes, I believe so that there is something else

Quote:Using the shell, not the yum configuration file do:

You meant : I can write it directly into a terminal console screen or adding thme user's shell profile (~/.bash_profile.) .

Quote:So you added the information into the configuration file, which is incorrect

Yes, you are right.

Standalone box and ISA proxy and yum update - zillah - 2007-01-28

1- First I updarded (not fresh installation) from FC5 to FC6

2- Then I configured /etc/yum.conf with this :

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080

proxy_username=zillah

proxy_password=ad123

3- I tried from a shell console as root

[root@localhost ~]# yum update yum

This suggests not a proxy problem but a DNS issue, can you resolve IP -> Name? Check your /etc/resolv.conf has valid information for the nameservers.

You might need to use NTLM Authorization to get authorization of your ISA Proxy (I have been poking around).

Yes, it does have valid name, i will check the authentication

Oh odd error, plainly 8080 is numeric. Try adding a trailing / to your proxy line:

Code:
proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080/

It might be that it needs that to see the end of the line, maybe.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem and a trailing slash fixed the problem for me. Thanks!

Ah its great to know that it works with the trailing / :)
