Standalone Box And Isa Proxy And Yum Update

[zillah]

With my box FC5 at work (Active Directory), I have been able to access the net , I have not logged in with my AD account , I logged in as username : root and password : forum,,,fake one (I know security implication, I have done this for test ).

First time when I tried to open a browser, window popped up asking me username and password for authentication to use internet (I entered my username: zillah and password:ad123 my active directory account,,,fake ), then I was able to browse the net.

When I tried to use the command below (via Terminal):

[root@local]#yum install yum (yumes),,,,It did not work, I believe because of the authentication (ISA proxy) that I mentioned above.

With the proxy , I followed the link below :

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html

1- I added the line below to /etc/yum.conf

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because our ISA uses 8080 proxy
proxy_username=zillah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake username
proxy_password=ad123,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake password

Then I tried to use this :

[root]#yum update yum,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I received this error :

Loading "installation" Plugin

Settingup Update Process

Setting up repositories

Can not find a valid baseurl for repo:case

Error: Cannot find valid baseurl for repo:core

2- I removed the configuration above and I tried these:

http_proxy=" http://zillah:[email protected]:8080 "
export http_proxy
yum update

[root@localhost # yum update yum

Traceback (most recent call last):

first

this

http_proxy=" http://zillah:[email protected]:8080 "
export http_proxy
yum update

belongs in your .rc file for the user (/home/username/bash.rc)

your error from the first thing you changed is saying your repo list is bad (proxie not working could make this think it is bad), but Fedora 5 has fedora legacy links that do not exsist anymore , you may need to find an up to date repo list to fix this (or at least know that is not the problem)

FC 6 is out, you could get the list from that distro.

Yes, you are right.

But the code below as link stated to be add to /etc/yum.conf,,,,did not work

proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because our ISA uses 8080 proxy
proxy_username=zillah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake username
proxy_password=ad123,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake password

right? your first Error stated that it could not find the REPO, I am suggesting that its because the ones that come with FC5 are wrong.

try taking out the one listing legacy and see if that fixes it.

your second error is a parsing error of the scripts, so I think it does not like the shell settings.

FC 6 is out, you could get the list from that distro.

I will try this option, I have got three OSs on my laptop (Windows, Solaris, FC5), but do you think any affect that might happen to other two OSs, when I upgrade FC5 to FC6 ?

should be no issue

Sorry, I can't be more help
