Hi

If some body receive the above error first you should check the connectivity and firewall issues and still if the problem persist.

Sample Error

You should edit the  /etc/yum/repos.d/CentOS-base.repo or epel.repo

and change all the URL’s that pointing to https  to  http  save the file

Restart the yum process.

Hint –  Always start the yum process with debug switch ,which helps us in troubleshooting –  ( yum -d6 update)
