#9444 EPEL repositories down
Closed: Insufficient data by kevin. Opened by darkon.

Reopen Issue

Describe what you would like us to do:

Think they were taken down during the move to the new datacenter, I searched open issues first.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Whenever you can.

What do you mean by "down" ? What doesn't work and do you get any errors?

EPEL repositories were never down during the move. I am expecting you are somehow tied to trying to get from a specific IP address at the old datacentre versus using DNS. Please check the /etc/hosts or /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.rep to see if mirrors.fedoraproject.org is hardcoded to an ip address.

Metadata Update from @smooge:
- Issue priority set to: Waiting on External (was: Needs Review)
- Issue tagged with: low-gain, low-trouble

I'm going to close this now.

If you can get us more info, happy to look into it... epel gets 10's of thousands of connections per hour, so if it was down I am pretty sure there would be a mob complaining. :)
