Yum update
Hello! I have a big problem with update....
This is the answer from the server when i write this command (of course as root!):
yum repolist all
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 9 - "Server denied you to change to the given directory"
Trying other mirror.
repo id repo name status
rhel-source Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6Workstation - i386 - So enabled: 2639
rhel-source-beta Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6Workstation Beta - i386 enabled: 0
virtualbox RHEL/CentOS-6Workstation / i386 - VirtualBox enabled: 0
And when i do yum update..
yum update
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 9 - "Server denied you to change to the given directory"
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-source-beta. Please verify its path and try again
I think my repolist on /etc/yum.repos.d/ is corrupt or/and perhaps are wrong the keys on /etc/pki/rpm-gpg...
Someone can help me?
Thank you!!

Hi
Try yum after disabling the source repos.
# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-source.repo
Change all "enbaled=1" to "enabled=0"
# yum clean all
# yum repolist all
Thanks.

Dear all,
I get timeouts when connecting to the xmlrpc.redhat.com/XMLRPC
telnet xmlrpc.redhat.com 443 fails
telnet xmlrpc.redhat.com 80 works
So I wonder if something is work at the Red Hat sites.
Kind regards,

Hello,
The hostname you specified is not correct. The correct one is xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com.
Just in case that was a typo in your post, we've checked to see if there were any outages or other connectivity problems with RHN recently, and none have been reported or detected. We've also been unable to reproduce any sort of issues when telnet'ing to these ports on the correct hostname from external sites.
Let us know if using that hostname doesn't resolve your issue. If that's the case, provide us with the error you are seeing.
Thanks,

>> of course, because the rhel repo are disabled. But, of course, no download update.
If you are planning to update RHEL, then you need to register the system with RHN. The outputs do not show RHEL base channel repository active. Note that source Repo only provides source files of the packages coming with RHEL. It cannot provide system updates.
Regarding the source repo error, are you able to access those repositories mentioned in rhel-source.repo file?
Thanks,
Anil

Are you behind a web proxy or a firewall that could be interfering with your connection?

It looks like you are using a beta repo. (Hopefully not one that has recently gone to production, like 6.1.) Which version of RHEL beta are you running?
i have also no idea whats going on with rhel6.1 and package updates. i have also done the several steps described but can't downwnload any packages from RHN with yum like before.
I have no idea if this will be solved by redhat or if there wil be a usefulk description how to get yum runing for installing package from RHN again.
