    Try the following

    Code:
    service named restart
    yum repolist
    yum clean all
    yum update
    If that doesn't fix it

    Code:
    nano -w /etc/yum.conf
    Add the following:

    timeout=300

    If that doesn't work, do the following:

    Code:
    rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpmdb -vv --rebuilddb

    Maybe port 80 outgoing is being blocked by the firewall? Just a shot in the dark.

    I don't recommend the above. It could be disastrous depending on the situation. In fact, the yum error has nothing to do with rpmdb.

    yum has issues with some proxies. If you have a proxy set in your ENV then this could cause something similar.

    Hi,

    Before doing anything, just make sure that you can access the repos from that server. Just check it using lynx command

    If you edit
    /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

    and set
    enabled=0

    it should work.
    Your fastestmirror has an issue.

    If you go into the CSF config you should have an option in your /etc/csf/csf.conf file for 'TCP_OUT'. Make sure you have port 80 in there and then yum should work with your firewall.
