Hi, I was using yum on fc2 it went fine even after editing yum.conf (so that i could choose a mirror site). Today i ran yum for the first time after upgrading to fc3, it showed me the following error msg. ------start err msg-------- not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - # not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - # Setting up Repo: fedora-extras-stable Error accessing file for config file:////etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo Error accessing file for config file:////etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo Error accessing file for config file:////etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo Error accessing file for config file:////etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora-extras-stable failure: repodata/repomd.xml from fedora-extras-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. ------end err msg------ my yum.conf is as follows: -------start yum.conf------- [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d/ debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=fedora-release assumeyes=1 exactarch=1 diskspacecheck=1 retries=1 [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://mymirror.asiaosc.org/redhat/fedora/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/os/ gpgcheck=1 [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ #changed this today & commented 2 lines below # http://mymirror.asiaosc.org/redhat/fedora/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ # http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/redhat/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [fedora-extras-stable] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - extra stable baseurl=http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable gpgcheck=1 #[fedora-extras-testing] #name=Fedora.us testing #baseurl=http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.testing/ #[fedora-extras-unstable] #name=Fedora.us unstable #baseurl=http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.unstable/ #[updates-testing] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/ #[development] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ --------end of yum.conf-------- what could b the problem.
