yum安装时出现：Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

在redhat7.3系统下安装ansible的时候出现了问题：Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again，需要安装epel源。

解决方法： 一句话：把/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo，文件第3行注释去掉，把第四行注释掉。具体如下：

打开/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo，将

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

修改为

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

再清理源，重新安装

yum clean all
yum install -y 需要的包
