Status code 404 on mirrors upon dnf update

Rocky Linux Help & Support
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’:

and more similar errors.

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.

6

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).

7

one liner for lazy people :grinning:

find /etc/yum.repos.d -name "Rocky-*.repo" -exec sed -i 's/^mirrorlist=/#&/' {} \; -exec sed -i '/^#baseurl=/s/^#//' {} \;
8

This has been fixed it seems.

9

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.
