Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.

[bjrosen]

I just did a fresh install of F14 using a Live USB. I can't do a yum update, I'm getting

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.

I've done a yum clean all and I've tried coping the .repos from another F14 system that's working fine.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried yum clean all and yum check-update? Is there a working Internet connection on this computer? What is in the file /etc/resolv.conf?

I was able to fix it by changing https in the .repo files to http

Hi,

I changed the https to http as bjrosen suggested, but this didn't help. I am using Fedora 15 behind a proxy, and managed to fix it by doing the following in the terminal

#> export http_proxy="h ttp://myproxyaddress:portnumber/"

Also adding the following to the end of /etc/yum.conf

proxy=h ttp://myproxyaddress:portnumber/

Please excuse the space in h ttp. This is my first post and the number of links is restricted for new postees, so I added the space to get this through.

Hope this helps

Hello all, I just installed fedora 14, I configure the network, my goal is to install cacti, I can do a ping to the DNS (8.8.8.8), I have internet connection but I do not have to do a yum install any package, or an update, or a command to internet.help me please

Hello guissemadina. Fedora 14 has long past End Of Life. That means that it is no longer officially supported by the Fedora Project. As such, there will be no updates for Fedora 14. With regard to your issues, my guess is that the yum repositories no longer work for this release, hence the yum errors. You should consider installing Fedora 18, or at the very least, Fedora 17.
