Hi folks,
When I try to check for updates using either yum or apt-get (I prefer
yum) I get the following message:
Server: K12TLSP
retrygrab() failed for:
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/9/headers/header.info
Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/yum/9/headers/header.info
[Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] (111, 'Connection refused')
Do I need to tweak something somewhere, and if so what. So far I've
tried uninstalling and reinstalling yum (from the very same repository
I'm trying to get updates from.) I had to download it on my OS X
laptop and scp it to my server however because, when I try to get it
using ftp from my server I get the connection refused message. The
only difference I can see between my two ftp sessions is that the OS X
session says it is using Extended Passive mode when it makes
transfers, while the K12ltsp server is using just plain old Passive
mode.
All suggestions welcome.
Peace,
Jimmy
