Re: Still having problem with epel

2014-01-02 Thread Mahmood Naderan 
As stated by Zvika, it seems that I have problem with https connections. So 
replacing https with http in epel.repo temporarily fixed the issue.

Strange.

Can you download the metalink file directly?

curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64'

2014-01-02 Thread John Lauro 
Those instructions look like they are for centos. Try: 
yum install yum-conf-epel 

instead of wget/rpm 


Did you use 
yum install yum-conf-rpmfusion

Hi, 
Recently I have faced a problem with epel repository ad asked a question about 
that. That thread was messy so I decided to create a simpler scenario. 


I have followed the instructions from 
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-5x-or-6x
 and downloaded the rpm file. However the epel repository doesn't work for me. 
If I remove it, then everything is normal. Please see the commands
