Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘repo.percona.com_tools_’:
- Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for http://repo.percona.com/tools/repodata/repomd.xml
There appears to be no ‘repodata’ directory at Percona Repo
Are you using our percona-release tool to configure your local repos? This single repo handles apt and yum along with many different major releases of various OSes. Please be sure you’ve configured the entire path. It is best to use our manager.
https://repo.percona.com/tools/yum/release/9/SRPMS/repodata/
Please keep in mind that tools repo was discontinued and will not get updates
as for your @MMcCown question yum repo is placed in a different path
https://repo.percona.com/tools/yum/
hrmmm, I may be following an older or incomplete guide page, will try this method, thanks.
Please let us know the URL of the documentation page you are following so we can take action to either update, or redirect to newer docs. Thanks!
This is the one I used to begin with:
Following the posted suggestions take me back to the same place, running the suggested install routines results in "Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘repo.percona.com_tools_’:
- Status code: 404 for http://repo.percona.com/tools/repodata/repomd.xml". and indeed when attempting to go to the site via a web browser, I can get all the way to tools, but there is no repodata folder attached to the tools folder.
TBH for the task I need it to do it’s not worth the time it’s taking to work through, I’m moving on thanks anyway…
Hey @MMcCown thank you for that! That page does indeed look incorrect. The correct command would be:
percona-release enable pxb-80
From there you can yum|apt install percona-xtrabackup
Can you let us know also which OS you are using?
