apt-cacher-ng not working on CentOS 7

[Nicolas Kovacs]

Hi,

I've been using the nifty apt-cacher-ng package cache successfully on Debian.

Now I'd like to run it on our local server running CentOS 7. I installed the
package from EPEL, but the service fails to start.

On Debian, running apt-cacher-ng is a matter of installing it, firing it up and
then pointing clients to the proxy.

Any idea why the service is failing on CentOS ?

Cheers,

Niki Kovacs

Unfortunately, it appears there is currently no maintainer for the package 
in Fedora.

It sounds like this problem has been known for a while:

Worked like a charm.

Thanks very much (also to Scott Talbert who answered earlier).

My sandbox installation (CentOS 7 server, OpenSUSE Leap 15 clients) is
beginning to work nicely.

Cheers,
