I am facing an issue with DNS resolving in my droplet. I can’t ping even Google’s DNSes:
[root@xenonon etc]# ping 8.8.4.4 PING 8.8.4.4 (8.8.4.4) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C — 8.8.4.4 ping statistics — 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4814ms
Here is content of my /etc/resolv.conf:
[root@xenonon etc]# cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver 82.215.0.115 nameserver 209.244.0.3
When I try to install something by yum, I am getting following error:
[root@xenonon etc]# yum install traceroute Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 6 - “Couldn’t resolve host ‘mirrorlist.centos.org’” Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
What is going on?
Thanks, Maksym.
