Hi Rahul Tiwari,

What distro are you running on your server? RHEL/CentOS 7?

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. I am using "CentOS-7.9

Thanks
Rahul

I assume you have SCL setup then. Can you wget the rpm from the same url?

5

Hi,
SCL setup is done. And I am able to wget the setup successfully. But installation with yum have the problem.

Thanks
Rahul

Can you wget the rpm then yum install ./ondemand-release-web-1.8-1.noarch.rpm?

sounds like a firewall or proxy issue maybe. I assume a normal yum install of other upstream packages is fine, i.e. yum install vim?

11

Hi,

No there is no proxy configured. And firewall and SELinux are disabled.
Even I am able to install another package.

Thanks
Rahul

No local repo server either right?

I can’t replicate in a container. Either we had a short outage or there is in fact something with your setup. Are you sure you don’t have a proxy server as @mjbludwig indicated? It could just be the environment variable proxy_server.

As a quick gut check you could curl that endpoint and see if it’s available (which repodata.xml is now). But I would guess that could help triage this issue - if it doesn’t work in yum, try hitting the URL with curl or wget. That’ll narrow the issue down.

Hello,

proxy_server environment variable is “NULL” so I am sure there is no proxy setup in our environment. Output of the curl of repodata.xml endpoint.

curl https://yum.osc.edu/ondemand/1.8/web/el7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

One more thing I would like to add here. Tried to install on some different system with different network, but issue remain same .

Thanks
Rahul

Is there some other upstream firewall you might be behind, like a university or enterprise firewall upstream of your server?

You could test installing other software from a non-rhel hosted repository like salt: Salt Project Package Repo (they have a typo there I think saying rhel 6 when they mean rhel 8)

17

Tried installing the Salt project repo which you mentioned on above I am able to install “yum install salt-master” application no error there.
Do you have any other repository for onDemand which you can refer me.

Thanks
Rahul
