CentOS - Sep 2005 - YUM error - are repositories down or something?

Following advice on how to ensure that PHP and MySQL are on my machine
and working correctly, I ran the following YUM command, with the
subsequent error:

[root at localhost ~]# yum install php php-mysql httpd mysqlclient10 mysql-
server
Setting up Install Process
Setting up Repos
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4]
IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route to host')>
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: dag
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to
try.

Unless I am misunderstanding this error (which is quite likely), it
seems to indicate that YUM can not reach the online repositories. Is
that the case?

Or does the problem reside on my end?

It seems your network is not working, and yum can't reach it's
repositories.

Make shore you can ping google.com or similar !

If not, check your network configuration.

It means that yum can't reach the machine that hosts the dag repo. Where
the blame should be laid for this is a different issue. traceroute
should be able to help you diagnose it.

I see that problem from here as well, and apt.sw.be is indeed not 
available at this time. Take a look at this link for some mirrors:

http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/links.php

the one I use ( and is working at the moment ) :

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/apt.sw.be/

That doesn't look like the standard Centos yum repository.
Did you modify your yum configuration - you shouldn't
need to for packages that are part of the stock
distribution.
