#the problem
#yum update
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
so here is he solution
first u need to make some changes in these two files
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
Now un-comment all the lines that start with the term baseurl and place a comment before all lines that start with mirrorlist. Do this for both the above files.then
edit your /etc/hosts file and append the following to it’s contents:
80.239.156.215 mirrors.fedoraproject.org
213.129.242.84 mirrors.rpmfusion.org
Now try updating your system or installing any software via Yum. You will see, the error is now resolved and the error message is not shown anymore.
