epel install nginx error

[Elías Chistyakov]

Hi All,

I get an error when installing nginx on CentOS 6.4.

My actions:

rpm -Uvh
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install nginx

Error message:
GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64: failure: GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm from epel:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

How to do fix this?

Thanks
Ilya

Looks like you're accessing a very out of date mirror. Current version 
of GeoIP in EPEL 6 is 1.5.1, and has been for a few months now.

How can I update date mirror?

The first step is to find out which mirror that you server is using so
that we know which EPEL mirror is out of date. Try enabling debug
options in yum:

URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1,debug.log yum install nginx

You can read the debug.log file and figure out which EPEL mirror was used.

You can then manually exclude this mirror in
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf. Open up that file and set
the exclude variable to the URL you wish to avoid.

exclude = mymirror.example.com

Please let us know which mirror is far behind as well, so we can
investigate. If it's a big problem, we could possibly pull them from
Fedora's MirrorManager.

Before starting the installation, I see only this link -
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64. I do
not think it will help.

I removed epel-release-6-8.noarch and saw next error:
Could not get metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64 error was
14: problem making ssl connection

I replaced https on http in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo. It helped.
