EPEL Error

[Kunal Pednekar]

Hi Team,

I tried to install packages after downloading EPEL. But I am getting 
following error:

[root@ess19 ~]# rpm -Uvh

[root@ess19 ~]# yum install foo
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit, security, tmprepo
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: 
epel. Please verify its path and try again

Can you please help me here?

Is the date/time set correctly on your server? If it's way off the
default metalink will be invalid and it won't get any info from it.

If the date/time is set right, try doing:

URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum install foo

and attach the last few hundred lines or so, that should indicate the
error.
