Question: How to Configure yum through Proxy ?

Answer: If you are behind an http proxy server and you want yum to connect to the internet through that proxy open a terminal and type:

su -c 'gedit /etc/yum.conf

yum configuration

proxy=http://ip:port/

if you connecte with login and pass , should be

proxy=http://login:password@ip-host:port/

where ip is your proxy’s ip address and port is the port the proxy listens to. Don’t forget the / after the port number. Save and exit.

 [root@unixmen ~]# vi    /etc/bashrc 

and add a line

export proxy

save and exit

reboot your machine

 [root@unixmen ~]# yum   update
