Just thought I would let the ClearOS team know that for some reason the Houston CDN (mirror2-houston.clearsdn.com [75.125.207.198]) is not working properly at least at the time of this posting. When I would do a yum update i would get a error saying could not find base repo: clearos or something of that nature. After some digging when i would ping mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com i noticed that it was redirecting me to mirror2-houston.clearsdn.com and i was getting a response back about every 20 ping requests. So i did some searching to see if ClearOS has another cdn in which I found this page http://master-mirror.clearsdn.com/clearos/mirrorlist/ which lists ClearOS's mirrors/CDN. So in order to complete my install I had to manually change the /etc/yum.repos.d/clearos.repo to the DC mirror instead of the Houston mirror.

All I did was comment out the mirrorlist and add the dc mirror to the baseurl for each repo.

Then I did a yum clean all
Then yum update

Everything works fine now. Hopefully you guys will figure out whats going on in Houston cause we defiantly have a PROBLEM!!!! Haha, well let me know once this issue has been resolved so that i can update my clearos.repo file to start using the mirrorlist again!

    Thanks for the feedback - passed on! as you note it appears mirror2-houston is down, which provides the 'mirrorlist' for yum.

    You can also temporarily substitute in /etc/yum.repos.d/clearos.rep mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com with master-mirror.clearsdn.com and things should work OK

    FYI you can use any mirror from the list here:-
    http://master-mirror.clearsdn.com/clearos/mirrorlist/
