  • yum on new install gets HTTPS Error 403

    Posted on

    I am new to RHEL.

    I recently installed a new machine and everything went well.
    I installed several packages needed to build the code I was trying
    to test on RHEL.

    Then I convinced myself that I should repeat the install to show that I
    could do it again from the notes I had taken.

    No luck.

    It took a while to figure out that I needed to remove the previous system
    in the subscription list on the Customer Portal.

    Once I did that I could register my newly installed system using the subscription-manager.
    But when I try to use yum I get this:

    yum repolist available
    Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
    https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/server/7/x86_64/rt/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden
    Trying other mirror.
    To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article

    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69319

    If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with Red Hat Support.

    https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/server/7/x86_64/rt/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden
    Trying other mirror.
    repolist: 0


    I've gone through the instructions from solution 69319 but nothing changes.
    I've gone through multiple attempts with this sequence of commands:

    subscription-manager unregister
    subscription-manager register
    subscription-manager refresh
    subscription-manager attach --auto

    Nothing changes.

    I've tried to re-install a couple of times. Still the same.

    I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
    What is it?
    Thanks for any help.
