Fedup won't use the proxy server where I work.
I can download packages and do yum updates by command line or yumex on the machine for updates.
sudo yum update
works as expected.
I cannot run fedup. I get error messages for every server tried as 403'd.
This is from the log file.
[ 4.623] (II) fedup.yum:log_grab_failure() http://fedora.mirror.gtcomm.net/releases/21/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/50...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
I can access the archives via web browser and download files from the sites so they are not blocked when using Firefox.
So from this, I am assuming that fedup isn't using the proxy settings in the yum configuration files or I have something configured wrong that I am missing.
I really don't want to have to upgrade manually again.

You might want to try the unofficial route, upgrade-fedora.
Are you saying to just try upgrading without using fedup?
The one reason I would like to use fedup is all the configuration files that I have to fight through.
It would be worth it to test.
According to bug 892994, fedup is supposed to use the proxy setting in yum.conf.
I might try the --instrepo= flag to see if that makes any difference than trying to go through the mirrors.
I will take a closer look at the log files to see if I can find anything I missed.

Yes, but I got the name wrong; it's fedora-upgrade, available from the updates repo.

The fedup installation guide used to say that it was not recommended if one is using KDE or Gnome, which I imagine would be 90% of users. Does it still say this?

In general, upgrades are recommended to be run in a more minimal environment but since fedup only installs packages in a special environment anyway, there is nothing stopping you from running it within GNOME or KDE

I am running it from a terminal. no X.
Corporate firewall is preventing system from getting the necessary files.
All documentation states that it is supposed to work through the firewall and use the yum.conf file to find the proxy.
I will look at the fedora-upgrade and try that.
I guess I will submit a bug report on fedup about this.

You do have the "proxy http://whatever" or "proxy libproxy" set in your /etc/yum.conf file, right?
When you say your corporate firewall is blocking things, is it really blocking or limiting the amount of data you can download from the outside world?

I cannot send messages to this list through our mail system at work even through I can read messages. This is why I am slower to respond.
Yum fully works with the present configuration
In yum.conf I have (domain hidden) proxy=http:/webproxy.XXX.X:8080
I can update using yumex or cli.
I have tried multiple times. This is the log that I have at home.
I can access most of these sites and download the files manually using Firefox.
I hope this points in the correct location. Just in time for F22. :)
fedup with the -v option returns this to the logs.

Wow! It certainly appears that a lot of the ".ca" repos (e.g. http://www.muug.mb.ca) are returning 403 errors, yet you say you can update. My guess is there's something very wrong with your fedup configuration such as having a bad list of repos. My fedup logs, for example, don't show downloading any of that repodata with the long hex strings in front, but then again, my fedups worked.

Try reinstalling fedup: "yum reinstall fedup" and try the fedup operation again.
The domain I am on is a .ca domain and trying to get the nearest repositories. Also the way that I cut out much of the chaff. These are also from the log file.

As for the long hex string. I still saw those on Friday.
I tried again and after about three runs, after re-installing fedup, I finally get to "not finding the image". I tried it as I was trying to run out the door for the weekend.
It is success. I will try again on Monday to see where I get.
I need to change a setting on yum for timeouts due to the firewall checking every file, it can be slow. Of course, a Win 8.1 update I did yesterday took over 5 hours on a laptop on my home network. No progress indicator on the downloads is frustrating.

Does your actual proxy config have "http://" rather than "http:/"?
Can you check that your proxy is working properly?

Sorry for taking so long.
It is http:// and it works for yum and yumex.
Today, doing updates I think I found the issue. Our corporate firewall does bandwidth management and if you download over a certain amount of data, it starts to throttle the path. This will be a subject of another message.
When it does this, it blocks site access and becomes slow, very slow. I have come to the conclusion that fedup won't work through the firewall because of this. I will have to create a local mirror to use fedup.
Running fedup multiple times finally got to the point that it said it didn't have a boot image. I was already late so I didn't try anything after that.
