CentOS, yum and HTTPS
by Liam Haworth
Hey EPEL users,
First, apologies if I'm sending this to the wrong list, first time sending
to a Fedora list.
Recently I ran into a problem with using EPEL on Centos (release 6.7 Final
on OpenStack), I have been getting "Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for
repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again". Being a sysadmin
my first point of call was to google it and hey presto, it seems to be a
HTTPS issue.
So I updated the ca-certificates package as recommended (updated to Version
: 2015.2.6, Release : 65.0.1.el6_7) and sadly this has had no effect, even
after running clean all and makecache. Digging a bit deeper I ran a openssl
check [1] (openssl s_client -connect mirrors.fedoraproject.org:443) and it
shows what I expected and making a call to the mirror list via call
succeeds with no certificate errors.
I'm now stuck on what to do and would prefer not to change it to HTTP or
add "verifyssl=false", would anyone be able to point me in the right
direction to fix this?
Kind regards,
Liam Haworth.
