Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org centos 7
I have a fresh install of latest centos 7
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
[root@localhost ~]#
I wanted to install something and wget was not installed so when i tried to install wget i saw tha yum is giving error.
I may have found all the topics about this problem on the internet but with no luck i can't find my solution
[root@localhost ~]# yum update

One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - Base),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=base ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable base
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=base
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=base.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

So when i list the repos i get this.
[root@localhost ~]# yum repolist all

My issue is that i have a fresh installation of vmwareovh on my server
I've installed another server that's working fine but this time i have a problem
Any one can help me?I have also tried to enable all disabled lines in etc/yum.repo.d
my /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the

# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the

Best Answer
Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org; Unknown error
This indicates that you either (a) don't have a properly configured DNS server or (b) your network configuration isn't correct and you can't connect to a DNS server to check the hostname mirrorlist.centos.org .
Try using ping 8.8.8.8 . If this fails, try ping <local-gateway-ip> . If this also fails your local network configuration is wrong and you'll have to check the configuration
If you can ping 8.8.8.8 , try using host , nslookup or dig to check the DNS settings like host google.com or dig google.com . If these fail you need to check your dns settings Check /etc/resolv.conf to see what's configured.
UPDATE
Since /etc/resolv.conf is blank, you need to setup a DNS resolver. I would suggest entering the following into the file using nano or vi (or whatever your comfortable using).
nameserver 9.9.9.9
Save this file, then try yum update again.
You can also try other DNS hosts if you would rather, such as 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or any of the OpenDNS hosts.
