#4521 Broken mirror (be.mirror.eurid.eu)
Closed: Fixed Opened by slugan.

= bug description =
The following mirror is apparently listed when using yum with fastestmirror plugin or dnf:

​ftp://be.mirror.eurid.eu

However, this mirror is empty for now (.rpm files missing in /fedora/linux/updates/20/), resulting in many Curl errors reported by both yum and dnf:

{{{
[MIRROR] zsh-5.0.6-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm: Curl error: Remote file not found for ftp://be.mirror.eurid.eu/fedora/linux/updates/20/x86_64/zsh-5.0.6-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm
}}}

= bug analysis =

This mirror is empty, no rpm files appears to be there:

ftp://be.mirror.eurid.eu/fedora/linux/updates/20/x86_64/

= fix recommendation =

Correct the synchronization mechanism on be.mirror.eurid.eu or remove it from the mirrors list.


Thanks for the report. I put the mirror admin on CC.

It is interesting to see that only the ftp part is the problem. Looking via http on that mirror I can see all files. With ftp no files, just like described in this bug report.

Can you (eurid mirror admins) look why ftp is empty?

The same happens for the eurid nl mirror by the way.

I have user_active disabled the eurid site in MirrorManager. You can enable it yourself again or let me know.

Hello,

My apologies for the late response.

I have checked what was wrong with the ftp and looked at how I could fix it.

The problem was with vsftpd. For some reason that is unclear to me for now, vsftpd returns permission denied on random files and directories. I have verified that all security settings on all files and directories are set correctly and tried several other things to get vsftpd working properly again. Unfortunately nothing worked really. I got some success, but then other files and folders were not showing.

I have now switched to proftpd to resolve the matter and I hope this resolves the problem completely. I have done some testing on Fedora, CentOS, Debian and rpmforge directories and files of which I knew there were problems with and they all show up perfectly and I can download packages also.
It is also not the first time we have problems with vsftpd. I hope proftpd will resolve all these problems and issues.

It was not a sync issue, the same root directory is used for offering http, ftp and rsync. As you already noticed, http was ok, and checking rsync everything seemed to be fine also.

I have also checked user_active for the eurid site again in MirrorManager.

If you have any other questions or remarks regarding this issue, please let me know.

Sven.
