    With my box FC5 at work (Active Directory), I have been able to access the net , I have not logged in with my AD account , I logged in as username : root and password : forum,,,fake one (I know security implication, I have done this for test ).

    First time when I tried to open a browser, window popped up asking me username and password for authentication to use internet (I entered my username: zillah and password:ad123 my active directory account,,,fake ), then I was able to browse the net.

    When I tried to use the command below (via Terminal):

    [root@local]#yum install yum (yumes),,,,It did not work, I believe because of the authentication (ISA proxy) that I mentioned above.

    With the proxy , I followed the link below :

    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html

    1- I added the line below to /etc/yum.conf
    Code:
    proxy=http://proxy.ewrq.au:8080,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because our ISA uses 8080 proxy
    proxy_username=zillah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake username
    proxy_password=ad123,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake password
    
    Then I tried to use this :
    [root]#yum update yum,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I received this error :

    Loading "installation" Plugin
    Settingup Update Process
    Setting up repositories
    Can not find a valid baseurl for repo:case
    Error: Cannot find valid baseurl for repo:core


    2- I removed the configuration above and I tried these:
    Code:
    http_proxy=" http://zillah:[email protected]:8080 "
    export http_proxy
    yum update
    
    [root@localhost # yum update yum
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?

    self.conf = config.readMainConfig(fn, root)

    raise e

    First - I should say that I know nothing about FC or Yum - but:

    The site you have a pointer to *doesn't* have the spaces surrounding the proxy URL. Unless this was a typo try removing them?

    This is the important line in the stack-trace I think.

    Some time if there is no space, the double quote will get changed to icon like this :biggrin

    I wondered if it was something like that. My comment on the parsing error still stands though <grin>. But I don't know the system to say why it is doing that.
