Error installing any program using yum

[Richard Cahilig <r.cahilig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have problem in my newly installed fedora 12. I got this error every time I tried to install anything via yum:

> [root@localhost User]# yum update
> Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

Below is the contents of my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
 

> [root@localhost User]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo 
> [fedora]
> name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch

And the contents of my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

I already tried some tips found by searching in google but still no luck. I tried  to uncomment the #baseurl= entries in the files above and add these

80.239.156.215          mirrors.fedoraproject.org

213.129.242.84          mirrors.rpmfusion.org

in my /etc/hosts but it still not working.

I even tried these commands:

yum clean all
yum makecache

but still no luck. This is a fresh install of fedora 12, the internet is perfectly working but I right now I can't upgrade, I can't install anything. Please help. Looking forward to your assistance. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Richard R. Cahilig
