"Curl error (5): Couldn't resolve proxy name" error

Question

I am trying to install php on my system using command 'sudo yum install php-common'. But it is giving following error

Error: Error downloading packages:
Curl error (5): Couldn't resolve proxy name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f23&arch=x86_64
[Could not resolve proxy: proxy.iiit.ac.in]

I have unset my proxy environment variables and tried again but it is still not working. Whenever I am using 'yum update' or 'yum install' to update or install some packages, it is giving same error.

How can I remove proxy? Please help.

Answer 1

there is an issue with the proxy. In Miktex go to the "Packages" side. It says "Install from ..." and next to it there is the button "Change". Go here and add your credentials, i.e. Username:Password@proxy and choose any port, e.g. 8080.
