Status code 404 on mirrors upon dnf update

Rocky Linux General
1

On a new install of 8.4 I have a working network but am unable to perform a yum/dnf update.
It appears as if the list of mirrors being provided is not valid. Following are the error messages.

Rocky Linux 8 - BaseOS 133 kB/s | 291 kB 00:02
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘baseos’:

I experienced this as well. I tried to migrate from CentOS 8 to Rocky 8 but failed due to this.

Same here in a Vbox VM and Nat. Using .ge mirrors.

I have found a workaround:
The appropriate .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ can be edited to provide a fixed url instead of the mirror list.
In each needed repository file, comment out the mirrolist line (often line 13) and uncomment the baseurl line (usually the following line).

one liner for lazy people :grinning:

find /etc/yum.repos.d -name "Rocky-*.repo" -exec sed -i 's/^mirrorlist=/#&/' {} \; -exec sed -i '/^#baseurl=/s/^#//' {} \;

This has been fixed it seems.

I concur. This has been fixed on the infrastructure side. The mirror list is being resolved OK.

10

Just apply this fix

sudo sed -i ‘s/10.2/10.3/’ /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

and re-run yum update
It wil work

11

But I don’t think they were talking about the MariaDB repo, they were talking about the Rocky repos.

12

404 error that I was getting was same as being discussed in the group and using the sed -i as mentioned above - solved it for all mirrors 404

13

I tried your solution but didnt work for me, but I tried the url on a browser and which gave me a list of available repos , I used which ever matched mine, my repo url had a mistake , insted of repo=rocky-rockyrpi-8.6&arch=aarch64 it had repo=rocky-rockyrpi-8&arch=aarch64. when i changed my update was just working fine.
