  • DNF update doesn't work - 'Status code: 403' for any repo configured

    Posted on

    Hello!

    I have a problem updating my RHEL 9.4 server, since couple of days it has been giving me following error:

    [root@nas ~]# dnf update
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 for x86_64 - AppStream (RPMs)                      105  B/s | 468  B     00:04
    Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms':
      - Status code: 403 for https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel9/9/x86_64/appstream/os/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 95.101.64.251)
    Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
    

    First it was giving me this error for 'codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms' repo, I've disabled it temporary with

    # subscription-manager repos --disable=codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
    

    Now this error is for 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms' so I think it is not specific to a repository, but a general issue connecting to Red Hat's CDN.

    If I try to open https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel9/9/x86_64/appstream/os/repodata/repomd.xml from a PC behind same router (NAT) as the server, I get this page:


    Access Denied

    Access Denied

    You don't have permission to access "http://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel9/9/x86_64/appstream/os/repodata/repomd.xml" on this server.

    Reference #18.dde6655f.1719857856.112c31f2

    https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.dde6655f.1719857856.112c31f2

    Is it possible that my IP is blocked by the CDN?

    Current version is:

    # cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.4 (Plow)
    

    Thank you!
