Cannot Retrieve Metalink for Repository: EPEL

To do so, edit the repository configuration file in /etc/yum.repos.d/, e.g. vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo, and then comment out the entries that are starting with mirrorlist=, and then uncomment the entries that are starting with baseurl=. For example,

[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
