I don't have further information yet, but I am going to be troubleshooting this in the morning and I wanted to get a head-start. Is there any reason that a yum install (that worked fine yesterday) would fail after I set up basic authentication in Apache last night? I have searched with google and SF for almost an hour and can't find anything relevant.

If that yum package is being retrieved from, or via that apache, then sure.

Check the apache logs to make sure that isn't the case.

You were right. yum was connecting to another host to get updates. I changed the auth to be at a more specific level and all was fine. Thanks for attempting to help even though I gave insufficient info. – MJB Apr 30 '10 at 12:54

Exactly what did you "yum install"?

I can't really follow what the relationship beween your yum command, and an apache configuration is.

We are using yum to install a locally created package. It was not anything related to Apache, and that is also why I am a little puzzled. – MJB Apr 29 '10 at 12:45
I can't immediatley see a link. What was the locally created package, and how does basic auth fail? anything in the logs? – Coops Apr 29 '10 at 13:42
