Linux VPS执行yum就报错：Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
解决方法：
方法一：
编辑文件 /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo 把baseurl的注释取消， mirrorlist注释掉 共三处
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
#baseurl 改成 baseurl
mirrorlist 改成 #mirrorlist
如下：
[epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch #mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 [epel-debuginfo] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch - Debug baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch/debug #mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-debug-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 gpgcheck=1 [epel-source] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch - Source baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS #mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-source-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 gpgcheck=1
方法二：
yum --disablerepo=epel -y update ca-certificates
