Just to confirm/check that the cause is at our end, could you run the yum command with a --disablerepo=elrepo\* option?

Yes, i did just that and the error is gone now. It is highly from your side. I have attached an image Error2.png to confirm further.

Thanks for checking. We will do further investigation.

Can you run one test for us? Please add to /etc/yum.conf the following lines:

minrate = 1
timeout = 500

Would it eliminate the errors?

No the timeout increase wouldnt fix the errors either. I am getting this

How about if you disable the fastestmirror pluging?

yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror repolist

Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the elrepo-release package:

http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm

Can you retrieve the above sqlite.bz2 file that is timing out in yum from any of the mirrors using wget or a web browser?

Can you tell us your IP address (you can email us at contact@elrepo.org if you do not with to share it here publicly).

Okay before i email you my IP i have noticed that retrieving the above sqlite.bz2, using my web browser results into a 404 - Not Found

I checked the linked and noticed that their is a colon at the end of it. Removing the colon, makes the data retrievable.

--with colon--

Can that be the issue?

I have also noticed that i am getting the same error when using the nux-dextop repository as shown in Error3.png

With a colon added, you should see a '404 Not Found' message.

Can you try other mirror? I have a connection problem with http://mirrors.thzhost.com at this moment. How about:

wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/elrepo/elrepo/el7/x86_64/repodata/759d548a3d0258bbba9109447763c7084aebcf9815a72dcbe3bf6e7ea687236e-primary.sqlite.bz2

Or, for a place in Europe:

wget http://elrepo.reloumirrors.net/elrepo/el7/x86_64/repodata/759d548a3d0258bbba9109447763c7084aebcf9815a72dcbe3bf6e7ea687236e-primary.sqlite.bz2

I noticed something new. I get "Connection timed out" with the sites that use ipv6. wget then uses ipv4 address and succeeds.

To make yum use a specific site, edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file as follows.

Comment out all baseurl= entries and the mirrorlist= line.
Then add a baseurl= line with a desired address.

For example, for the [elrepo] section:

baseurl=http://elrepo.reloumirrors.net/elrepo/el7$basearch/

I am still getting a timeout error. Do you know what the problem might be?

I'm running out of ideas. We (at ELRepo) cannot reproduce the yum error you are getting. The problem seems unique to your system as we do not hear similar issues from others.

How long ago did you start seeing the problem? As soon as you installed CentOS 7? Does this happen with CentOS 6?

eotieno

Yes, as soon i installed centos 7. This is my first time using centos from suse

I have tried yum repolist using centos running on docker, on my machine. But i am getting the same error message, just with yum repolist. Before i even add elrepo.

I guess the problem might be with my machine and not elrepo. Let me continue troubleshooting.

I will post back a solution to my problem if i manage to solve it.

Thanks alot.

I ended up using the mirrors from archives, and it worked

baseurl=http://ftp.colocall.net/pub/elrepo/archive/elrepo/el7/$basearch/

Just a short note to say that colocall.net is now unreachable.
