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:

1930-yumreposd.png

Any workaround regarding this issue would be highly appreciated!

Resolved: The problem was related to proxy Authentication. So, I installed and configured CNTLM to access ISA Proxy Server on Centos 6.

Look at the article :

http://wingloon.com/2014/04/11/how-to-install-and-configure-cntlm-to-access-isa-server-on-centos-6-5...

1.Install and configure cntlm

2. configure yum to use through ISA Proxy

  • vi /etc/yum.conf

add a line:

proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128/

  • vi .bash_profile

add :

export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128/

export https_proxy=${http_proxy}

export ftp_proxy=${http_proxy}

  • logoff root and login again
  • yum clean all
  • yum install XXXX

yum update, yum repolist or yum install now works fine

Hi Kibrom Gebrehiwot,

Unsure if you're still stuck here. What you can do is goto Manage Ambari > Versions > and update the HDP and HDP-UTILS URL's. You will be able to find your relevant URL's in your version document of ambari. Try to use the Public URL's if you have internet access.

Thanks,
