yum install avahi fails on centos 5.1

Post by logtech » 2016/03/13 00:17:03

yum install avahi
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, kmod
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirror.elastix.org/?release=2&ar ... ial_addons error was
[Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: commercial-addons


Is there any way to fix the repos?

Elastics?
5.1 ?
Install only from current official release DVDs.
Those are 5.11 ( Near End Of Life ), 6.7, and 7.2.

I understand but I need to install avahi and php-ldap for my project. Is there any way to install them?

Disable that elastix repo and then update your system! 5.1 is positively dangerous, not to mention ancient and buggy. Run yum update ASAP.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

I did run yum update but can't connect to repo, and I have connection to the internet - can ping any sites. The problem is the repo is directed to elastix, which I believe has some problems - is there any way i can directed to centos?

We can't support elastix since we do not know what they changed and if you blindly update without knowing then it might change something that elastix depends on. The vanilla centos-release package owns the CentOS-*.repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d if you want to see what ours looks like.

Thank You for your help. I understand that.

At this time I only need to install: yum install php-ldap for centos 5.11 - is there any way to download that rpm and forget about elastix repo?
