Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

今天使用yum安装，遇到一下问题：

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

处理很简单，修改文件“/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo”，

将baseurl的注释取消， mirrorlist注释掉。即可。

修改为一下内容

[epel]name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearchbaseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearchfailovermethod=priorityenabled=1gpgcheck=1gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

提供一个懒人注释法：

su -c "sed -i 's|^#baseurl|baseurl| ; s|^mirrorlist|#mirrorlist|' /etc/yum.repos.d/*"
