Problem:

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

Faced this error in CentOS 6.3. This issue started after installing the epel-repo

Solution:

You need to update ca-certificates package. Before that disable all the repos with https that are failing.

Here in my case,  epel-repo is failing, so I have to disable only epel repo:

yum --disablerepo=epel -y update  ca-certificates

The above fix helped me to resolve the issue.
