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 Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
