  • Yum Error Operation too slow

    When i did yum update on a CloudLinux server, i get following error

    error was [Errno 12] Timeout on https://cl-mirror.dewabiz.com/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/cloudlinux-x86_64-server-7/repodata/filelists.xml.gz: (28, 'Operation too slow. Less than 1000 bytes/sec transferred the last 120 seconds')

    This is because server is unable to connect to one of the yum mirrors.

    To fix this, we need to disable the mirror that cause this timeout.

    Edit file

    vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

    Find

    enabled=0

    Replace with

    enabled=1

    Find

    exclude=

    Add below

    exclude=cl-mirror.dewabiz.com

    run

    yum clean all
yum makecache

    Now yum will work.

    add the following content

    network:
    version: 2

        eth0:
            addresses:
                - YOUR_FO_IP_HERE/32

            optional: true
            routes:
                - to: 0.0.0.0/0
                  via: YOUR_GW_IP_HERE

    example

    root@easyengine:~# cat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            addresses:

            nameservers:
                addresses:
                    - 1.1.1.1
                search: []
            optional: true
            routes:
                - to: 0.0.0.0/0
                  via: 51.255.79.254
                  on-link: true
root@easyengine:~#

    “on-link: true” is what makes it work. The “on-link: true” option is used to specify that a specific route should be considered “on-link.” This means that the route is directly reachable on the local network segment, and packets destined for that route should be sent directly to the network interface associated with that network segment, rather than being routed through a gateway.

    Test network config using

    netplan try

    If everything works fine, you can apply the changes with

    netplan apply
