The following error "YumRepo: All mirror URLs are not using FTP, http[s] or file. Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/" has been resolved. You might be already aware that the "Centos 6 reached its End of Life" recently. So all the previous repos were deprecated.
Hereby you might see the following error while running yum commands with your CentOS 6 servers.
[[root@server ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Setting up Update Process Determining fastest mirrors YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/base/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base [root@server ~]#
To fix this, you need to modify the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
1. Make a backup of the existing CentOS-Base repository file.
cp -pr /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.OLD
2. Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo using your favourite editor. I am using vim editor here:
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
3. Modify the mentioned file with the following content:
[base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #released updates [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras&infra=$infra baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus&infra=$infra baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #contrib - packages by Centos Users [contrib] name=CentOS-$releasever - Contrib #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=contrib&infra=$infra baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/6.10/contrib/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
4. Run the desired yum command. I am running yum update here:
yum update
That’s it!
