Nick & Tony,
I found another thread from this year where Nick advised a manual update of the /etc/hosts file, with the following:
178.62.233.167 mirrorlist.clearos.com
207.154.210.181 mirrorlist.clearos.com
67.205.175.90 mirrorlist.clearos.com
138.68.237.203 mirrorlist.clearos.com
128.199.192.13 mirrorlist.clearos.com
178.62.250.181 mirrorlist.clearos.com
207.154.246.212 mirrorlist.clearos.com
67.205.144.164 mirrorlist.clearos.com
138.68.236.117 mirrorlist.clearos.com
139.59.245.244 mirrorlist.clearos.com
This resolved the issue and now everything updates and installs without any issue.
I don't know where the problem lies, but at least I can now get a better setup of ClearOS, even if this isn't a proper fix.

I don't know what is going on there. I don't believe mirrorlist respnds to pings and neither does clearos.com, but clearos.com does resolve:

Nick,
2 years later!!
Thought I would have another go with ClearOS and got the same issue again!!
I did as you suggested and changed my DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
I also tried this instruction from the CLI:host mirrorlist.clearos.com
It returned the following:[root@gateway ~]# host mirrorlist.clearos.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[root@gateway ~]# host mirrorlist.clearos.com
mirrorlist.clearos.com has address 209.90.117.202
I tried the second time, straight after the first failure.
I tried a ping to mirrorlist.clearos.com, which returned the same IP address, but failed to return the ping!!
Just to give you an idea of the situation, I can ping bbc.co.uk, but not mirrorlist.clearos.com, which just hangs.
Any other thoughts?
Cheers,
Barry.Attachments:

Nick,
Thanks for your quick response.
I did as you suggested and the first command, yum clean all && yum update, returned the following:
Loaded plugins: clearcenter-marketplace, fastestmirror
ClearCenter Marketplace: fetching repositories...
ClearCenter Marketplace: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
Cleaning repos: clearos clearos-centos clearos-centos-sclo-rh

Maybe you want: rm -rf /var/cache/yum, to also free up space taken by orphaned data from disabled or removed repos

^CCould not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.clearos.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-current-os-7 error was
14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.clearos.com; Unknown error"
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: clearos/7
Now going to run the second command, yum update app-base, which returned the following:

Hi,
I see this is an old forum, but I thought I should attach my post to the end of this one as it is the same issue.
I have installed ClearOS v7, run YUM updates and have setup my DNS to use my ISP DNS servers, (Virgin Media, UK).
I have finally got Marketplace to show content, although it intermitantly forwards to the Virgin Media Advanced Error Search page, for no reason??
If I manage to get the Marketplace to let me select an app to install, I get the following error message:"
"Exception: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: clearos/7
There is obviously something wrong with the primary installation files as I get lots of errors when YUM tries to update ClearOS files, but has no issue with CentOS files?
As I am unable to get this resolved after three days of persistent trying, I am know looking at an alternative Firewall option.
Just thought you should know that there is a definite error in the system configuration.
Cheers,
Barry. -

Hi Marcel, that may be because you have a cached mirror list? try 'yum clean all' first?

The actual individual mirrors are fine, it is the mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com host which provides the list of mirrors to yum which is timing out
Yes, I know. I just thought it can't hurt to report. I always check this site thus yesterday I knew all mirrors were up. So I contacted ClearCenter in the middle of the night. I think I have to avoid further contact with David this week...
For business it is mirrorlist.clearos.com. For community mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com.
So for me it's still working!!! -

Over the weekend a core router stopped routing for certain traffic out of one of our data centers. After a tweak or two and a couple of reboots it seems to work better now. During that downtime, I changed the pointers for the mirrorlist which can facilitate temporary relief. Now that this router seems to work better, I've reverted back the DNS. Please test and let us know what you are seeing today. Things should be getting back to normal but the feedback is golden. Thanks!
On the mirrrorlist.clearfoundation.com, that entry should be pointed to the 'clearos' asset instead. -

Yup - same problem here, mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com is still down, (Dave should it be mirrorlist.clearos.com which is up??)
Hack #1
As a workaround If you desperately need to install something, you can temporarily edit /etc/yum.repos.d/clearos.repo
Comment out all mirrorlist lines with #, and uncomment the baseurl lines
e.g.
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com/clearos/mirrorlist/clearos-community-os-$releasever
baseurl=http://mirror.clearfoundation.com/clearos/community/$releasever/os/$basearch/
Hack #2 - Or... another hack:-
Add temporary redirect of mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com to mirrorlist.clearos.com IP in /etc/hosts, e.g. add following line and restart dnsmasq service
192.241.218.251 mirrorlist.clearfoundation.com -

Yeah, I'll sleep later. The way that the mirrors are set up is that all of them can be used as a temporary 'master' if there is any problem like this. That is what I've done is to move everything to a different node while I try and figure out what happened. The damage doesn't look all that bad but we may have some hiccups for the next hour or so while I'm testing. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. -
