yum and wget connection refused error : Connection refused

Seems like some proxy problem to me for wget did you try

http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-use-wget-through-proxy/

export http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"

and if there is any authentication
proxy=on proxy-username="user name" proxy-passwd="password"

or directly export with username and pwd

http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080"

The mentiones server is unknown to my machine.
Maybe because it resolves for You to
10.198.1.29
which is private IP number.
So I assume, it's Your private mirror.
So I assume it's down(ping oak.corporatebank.co.za) or http service is down.

Or get more mirrors
Refer http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-yum-maintenance.html
to see how mirrorlist= should be configured

Hi Shakoush,

The proxy is being bypassed in the following way please check below:

[gugu@tumnus ~]$ cat /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh
## proxy.sh

#To completely disable proxy:
#no_proxy="*"

export http_proxy=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export HTTP_PROXY=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export ftp_proxy=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export FTP_PROXY=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export FTP_PASSIVE="1"
#export no_proxy="172.20.8.87"
[gugu@tumnus ~]$ cat /etc/profile.d/proxy.csh
## proxy.csh

#To completely disable proxy:
#no_proxy="*"

setenv http_proxy http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv HTTP_PROXY http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv ftp_proxy http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv FTP_PROXY http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv FTP_PASSIVE "1"
#setenv no_proxy "172.20.8.87"
[gugu@tumnus ~]$

Maybe this will give you an Idia as it was done by someone.

Thanks

It seems the proxy is the same as your repo try

wget proxy=off http://oak.corporatebank.co.za/centos4-i386/RPMS.updates/

Hi Ravenpl,

Yes this is my own repo and I don't want to add more mirrors as I want these machines to download from it. They will be my clients and the server is in a private ip address and httpd is not running.
Will the be an effect if httpd is not running.

[gugu@tumnus ~]$ ping oak.corporatebank.co.za

Well you have to fix this and start your httpd service first

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 117 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

you have to create the server certificate and put it in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/

Hi shakoush

It's connecting on both servers with httpd not running on the other server and running on the other one, when I run the command wget --no-proxy http://oak.corporatebank.co.za/centos4-i386/RPMS.updates/
The server with http not running is a production box and I'm not to sure how it's configure and this makes me unable to start httpd service maybe the is a reason its stopped.

change your proxy scripts to

#To completely disable proxy:

export no_proxy=oak.corporatebank.co.za
export http_proxy=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447

export ftp_proxy=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export FTP_PROXY=http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
export FTP_PASSIVE="1"
#export no_proxy="172.20.8.87"

[gugu@tumnus ~]$ cat /etc/profile.d/proxy.csh
## proxy.csh

#To completely disable proxy:
#no_proxy="*"
setenv no_proxy oak.corporatebank.co.za
setenv http_proxy http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv HTTP_PROXY http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv ftp_proxy http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv FTP_PROXY http://oak.corporatebank.co.za:4447
setenv FTP_PASSIVE "1"
#setenv no_proxy "172.20.8.87"

run the scripts and then try yum and wget again. I added the no_proxy to the
oak.corporatebank.co.za this should fix it.

edit Your
/etc/yum/yum.conf

add following line to skip proxy
proxy=_none_

OR get Your proxy running/accepting requests
BTW, the httpd service is to be started on remote, not local machine. There was misunderstand between us.

Hmm, strange, try

or

but in repository section.

No more ideas.
