    Hi!

    On one of my node I am having a problem with Yum, it's not updating at all - and I can't figure out why? I've disabled iptables and yet still doing want to do anything?

    [root@spanky ~]# yum update
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
    Determining fastest mirrors
    YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file.
    Eg. $releasever is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/
    removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/$releasever/base/mirrorlist.txt
    Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
    [root@spanky ~]#
    
    Code (markup):
    Thanks.

    Run "yum clean all", then show us the output of:

    cat /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo

    If your problem continues, please try running
    rpm --rebuilddb
    This will rebuild the RPM database which can become corrupted.

    Try this,
    su -
    yum clean all
    rpm --rebuilddb
    yum update
    Code (markup):
    If it doesn't works then,

    su -
    rpm --rebuilddb
    yum clean all
    yum update
    Code (markup):
    Once done, copy paste the whole update process from terminal if error occurs ;)
