Hi,
I'm having a problem with Setup. It's stopped working since a few days ago. It gets through to the stage where it tries to download mirrors.lst. It fails with the following error message: "Can't get list of download sites. Make sure your network settings are corect (sic) and try again".
The version of Setup I'm using is 2.249.2.5. I've just downloaded a fresh copy.
Here's the relevant parts of /var/log/setup.log:
v----------------------------------------------------------------v
2002/11/26 13:51:06 Starting cygwin install, version 2.249.2.5
2002/11/26 13:51:06 Current Directory: U:\Products\Cygwin
2002/11/26 13:51:40 source: network install
2002/11/26 13:51:41 root: d:/cygwin binary user
2002/11/26 13:51:45 Selected local directory: U:\Products\Cygwin
2002/11/26 13:51:47 net: IE5
2002/11/26 13:52:22 Ending cygwin install
^----------------------------------------------------------------^
And of /var/log/setup.log.all:
v----------------------------------------------------------------v
2002/11/26 13:51:06 Starting cygwin install, version 2.249.2.5
2002/11/26 13:51:06 Current Directory: U:\Products\Cygwin
2002/11/26 13:51:40 source: network install
2002/11/26 13:51:41 root: d:/cygwin binary user
2002/11/26 13:51:45 Selected local directory: U:\Products\Cygwin
2002/11/26 13:51:47 net: IE5
get_url_to_membuf http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
getUrlToStream http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
getUrlToStream failed!
get_url_to_membuf failed!
2002/11/26 13:52:22 Ending cygwin install
^----------------------------------------------------------------^
This has coincided with my inability to get through to the sources.redhet.com site.
I tried curl on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst URL and got this:
v----------------------------------------------------------------v
$ curl http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
<html><head><title>504 No response from server</title></head><body><h2>HTTP erro
r 504</h2><p><strong>504 No response from server</strong></p><p>Error connecting
to 'sources.redhat.com'.
</p></body></html>
$
^----------------------------------------------------------------^
I also, for what it's worth, tried curl on http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst. This worked OK, returning a list of mirror sites.
I had a quick look at the sources of Setup. It seemed to me that sources.redhet.com URL was hard-coded into the program.
Any ideas on how I can get Setup working again?
Thanks.
