I placed new yum.conf from http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf See here http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware
And I get this error:
[root@host1 temp]# yum list available Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.os/headers/header.info Executing failover method Server: Fedora.us Extras (Stable) retrygrab() failed for: http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for: http://fedora.mirror.sdv.fr/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for: http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for: http://fedora.quicknet.nl/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
How to resolve this problem?
You may be using the sample yum.conf file that is for Fedora Core 2, rather than 1. The url for the sample yum.conf you posted seems to go to the FC2 sample yum.conf.
There is a different yum.conf available for Fedora Core 1 that is available at this url:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/samples/yum.conf
Try that one out, and see how it works for you!
Hope this helps, Clint Harshaw
