[ 2 Qs the editing of firewall.sh and why might yum - y update fail ] Friends,
I am following the directions of http://www.qmailtoaster.com/centos/cnt40/EZ-QmailToaster-CentOS-4.3.txt I make it as far as 5. Prepare to Install QmailToaster: yum -y update But , the update fails with " cannot find valid BaseUrl for repos.update so I edited the /etc/yum.repos.d and removed the '#' from in front of the BaseURL i tired : yum -y update again and get the following [EMAIL PROTECTED] yum -y update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: update failure: repodata/repomd.xml from update: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from update: [Errno 256] No more mirrors totry. I have looked at my /etc/resolv.conf and - i think my DNS info is ok but I cannot ping www.yahoo.com ( that seems like a DNS thing ) But I think the cnt40-svcs.sh & firewall.sh have 'closed' my ability to do things like ping yahoo. (note my server is ip num 192.nnn.nnn.200 and I cannot ftp to 192.nnn.nnn.201 - i could this morning ) I also am wondering when i edit the firewall.sh edit MYIP="your-IP-address" should I keep the " around the ip num as edit MYIP=192.nnn.nnn.nnn or edit MYIP="192.nnn.nnn.nnn" should I expect the changes made by the firewall.sh and cnt40-svcs.sh to prevent me from being able to open a browser to google.com? Thanks jim
