Installing Zabbix Client in Xenserver

[diegosales]

Hello,

I am trying to install a zabbix client in a Xenserver. I activated a proxy at /etc/yum.conf
I activated the proxy temporarily

When I try to download the zabbix client using wget from the repo I receive a message:

Resolving proxy... failed : Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address 'proxy'

I am trying to install a zabbix client in a Xenserver. I activated a proxy at /etc/yum.conf
I activated the proxy temporarily

can you show the file(s) that you modified in yum to activate the proxy?

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1

# Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this.
metadata_expire=1h

# Default.
# installonly_limit = 3

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

proxy=//proxy:8888/
There is a hypertext transfer protocol line before // at the line above. I did not put it because the forum did not allow me to.

[atreyu]

proxy=//proxy:8888/

without delving any further, and not knowing anything about zabbix, i'd guess that using "http://proxy" is the problem. the system needs to resolve "proxy" to an ip address, but can't (b/c "proxy" is not in /etc/hosts or is not a valid DNS entry).

can you substitute the proper ip address for "proxy" there?

it is working. Now here another issue:
I want to install the openssl-devel packet and libOpenIPMIposix pácket dependence, but Here is the message I get:

I have made changes at /etc//yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo at base and updates repo, commenting the line mirror discommenting the line base and putting enabled =1.

[atreyu]

it seems like the proxy is breaking the resolving of mirror.centos.org (or else it is not resolving in the first place). can you ping mirror.centos.org?

can you load the URL in a browser, from that machine? e.g.:

firefox http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/

also, what does this command tell you?

yum clean all
yum repolist

[diegosales]

i typed these 2 commands above.
The message:Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>

can you ping updates.vmd.citrix.com?

can you show the contents of the yum repo file containing your citrix repo?

does this command show anything more helpful?

yum --noplugins --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=citrix -v -d9 -e9 repolist

[diegosales]

Hi,
I fixed it. Thanks. But another one appeared:
