Error accessing repository

English Applications

I have a new installation for OpenSuse 13.2. Try to use YaST2 to install packages, I got the following error:

Cannot access installation media
Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml
Error code: Unrecognized error
Error message: Empty reply from server

I tried to replace download.opensuse.org by a different mirror but got the same error.
Navigating to the mirror using the browser, I could not see a file named ‘repodata/repomd.xml’ under …/oss/

What did I do wrong? Any suggestions?

Try a different mirror sometime one is down or getting maintenance.

Cannot access installation media

that is the install dvd

it should not even be in the “/etc/zypp/repos.d/” folder
nor should it be turned on if it is
“enabled=0” is the OFF setting

the second error looks to be created by the manual editing you did

Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml
Error code: Unrecognized error

the BASE url for the suse13 would be

“repo-update.repo”

baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2/

“openSUSE-13.2-Non-Oss”

baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/non-oss/

so for the OSS it would be
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss
