Error: "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: HDP-2.3. Please verify its path and try again"

[#1]

when I try to use yum to update or install some packages, I get this error. .

"http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos6/2.x/updates/2.3.2.0/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 7 - "couldn't connect to host" Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: HDP-2.3. Please verify its path and try again"

I am working on HDP 2.3.4 Sandbox deployed on a CentOS 6 server which is behind the proxy. The server has internet access. I can ping google.com , for example.

the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d looks like this:

Any workaround regarding this issue would be highly appreciated!

Verify the content of repo files. I am able to run the repolist. It looks like that you have changed the repo files. In case you have not changed it then retry the operation

[root@sandbox ~]# yum repolist

Thanks for your prompt response:

out put of the command yum repolist looks like this: "Network is unreachable"

Is there anything that I should configure on the proxy?

N.B. I can resolve global IP addresses

$ ping google.com

PING google.com (216.58.212.110) 56(84) bytes of data.

then it stacks here.

@Kibrom Gebrehiwot Did you modify the repo files? It should not be talking to dev2.hortonworks.com.

cd /etc/yum.repo.d

See this

[#5]

I didn't modify any of the repo files. All the outputs are the same as yours.

[#6]

Did you get anything on running grep -ir dev2 /etc/yum.repos.d ?

[#7]

@Kibrom Gebrehiwot

sandbox.repo:baseurl=http://dev2.hortonworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/repo/dev/master/utils/

mv sandbox.repo sandbox.repo.1

This should resolve the issue

[#8]

@Kibrom Gebrehiwot Looking at errors....Looks like you are having trouble getting to any of those repo. I see your ping google.com works fine

try to run

wget https://community.hortonworks.com/storage/temp/1943-repofiles.png

See if it works or not

[#9]

@Kibron Gebrehiwot

could you rename your current HDP.repo to eg mv HDP.repo XXXHDP.repo.BCK

the run these 2 commands as root

# yum clean metadata

# yum clean all

Then recreate the HDP.repo with the attached contents don't change anything and then run

# yum repolist

Then retry

@Geoffrey Shelton Okot

I did all what you suggested me. But no luck yet.

Please, Have a look at the output of your suggested workaround: it seems the issue is related to network or proxy configuration. Any suggestion on the necessary network/proxy configurations?
