yellowchicken Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) Hi I just installed Mandrake 10.1 CE and I tried to set up easy urpmi after I went to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ get the command line: urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/plf/mandrake/10.1 with synthesis.hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.phys.ttu.edu/pub/mandrakelinux/...i586/media/main with media_info/synthesis.hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.phys.ttu.edu/pub/mandrakelinux/...6/media/contrib with media_info/synthesis.hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia jpackage ftp://ftp.phys.ttu.edu/pub/mandrakelinux/.../media/jpackage with media_info/synthesis.hdlist.cz then I copy and paste to the console: [root]# urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/plf/mandrake/10.1 with synthesis.hdlist.cz added medium plf and then it just stand there like forever (hours) Anyone can tell me what's wrong? I check the ftp site, they are accessible. I'm behind a firewall, does it have anything to do with this? Thanks a lots Edited November 16, 2004 by yellowchicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 it is quite probable that the firewall is blocking the traffic. disable the firewall while you set up the mirrors or open some ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchicken Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 "strict" university firewall >_< cannot disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 also could be that particular mirror is down or swamped. have you tried different mirrors? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchicken Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I tried varios mirrors still the same problem. I dont know if this has anything to do with the problem but a lots of linux mirrors when I try to download the ISO files I got the error 550 "Failed to change directory" when I click to download.

yellowchicken Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) Oh I found the problem. I cant access the FTP servers. I tried a HTTP server instead and it's working. Edited November 16, 2004 by yellowchicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Go into Mandrake Control Centre.........Security.........Firewall and put a tick (USA = check) in the box titled ........FTP Server then click OK. Now you should be able to connect to those urpmi sites. Cheers. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchicken Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) oh but Mandrake Control Centre.........Security.........Firewall It said: Which service would you like to allow the Internet to connect to? Everything (no firewall) ticked I think it's not my firewall but the University's one, I'm using Internet from my University network. ... But since I can access HTTP way and download the rpm files, I think I can manually install what I need right?

durvish Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 No need to download and manually install if you don't wan't to. Use the urpmi command in console or for a GUI use MCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
