urpmi doesn't work [solved]

[hirohitosan]

hello to everyone

I tried to update my computer with urpmi but it cannot connect to the server. I use DHCP and proxy server to connect to the internet.

when I try:

urpmi.addmedia

it fail to connect

I don't know how to configure to connect through proxy server. Can anyone give some advices?

thanks

# urpmi.addmedia --help
 [...]
 --proxy		- use specified HTTP proxy, the port number is assumed
			   to be 1080 by default (format is <proxyhost[:port]>).
 --proxy-user   - specify user and password to use for proxy
			   authentication (format is <user:password>).

Can you view normally web pages? I mean does your internet connection work?

Did you use "urpmi.addmedia" similar to easy-urpmi instructions?

You can try using "--wget" option. That will use wget instead default curl.

Another way to configure to go by proxy for all apps:

 

export http_proxy=192.168.1.10:3128
export ftp_proxy=192.168.1.10:3128

 

replace the ip with your proxy server and change the port accordingly. Then, all command line apps will use the proxy without the need for configuration.
