Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. 错误的解决方法

问题重现：

当配置epel源成功，yum update的时候出现如下错误：

[root@py ~]# rpm -ivh http://mirrors.sohu.com/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
[root@py ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

解决方法：

修改/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo文件，将mirrirlist注释掉，并把baseurl的注释取消。搞定
