Yum Issues: Cannot find a valid baseurl

Post by lycovian » 2014/07/20 16:55:56

Just installed the latest CentOS 7 LiveCD from torrents, after initial setup installing to my local harddrive, and reboot and login to CentOS yum is broken. It's giving me:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64

I've made no changes to the system other than to install it from the LiveCD with default options.

Not to confuse the issue but I installed the LiveCD version as the previous version of CentOS 7 I had installed (Everything ISO I believe) worked for a few days and then started giving me the same error. Are the base repos for CentOS 7 offline?

Thanks for any information you can furnish.

No, sounds more like your DNS servers are not working.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Have the same problem. Installed from torrent 64 "everything" version. In my case it's not the DNS problem. I use proxy without authorization, and i can use other internet-connected tools without problems. Yum from the other side gives me exaclty same error...

If you use a proxy then you need to edit /etc/yum.conf and read man yum.conf and add the right lines to the file to tell it about the proxy.
