Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 14:14:32 -0000 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 504 No response from server

HTTP erro r 504

Error connecting to 'sources.redhat.com'.

$ ^----------------------------------------------------------------^ 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.
