sunlight asked:
I have PHP 5.3.3 on my CentOs 6.3 server, Since this version of PHP is vulnerable now trying to upgrade to PHP 5.4.11 but the default repository of CentOs does not have PHP > 5.3.3 so yum can not detect the newer version.
I then installed remi repository on my server
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
These command installed repository successfully
Now the command to upgrade PHP
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test update httpd mysql mysql-server php php-common
But it fails with below error message
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
If i try yum info php the same error message
Basically after installing these repositories yum is not working, but yum was working earlier.
If I remove these repository and try yum it works without any error.
How can I have PHP upgraded to PHP 5.4.11 version?
EDIT
As @Michael Suggests I ran
yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Cleaning repos: base epel extras updates
Cleaning up Everything
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
`[[email protected] ~]# yum --obsoletes update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Determining fastest mirrors
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
Still the same error

As @Michael Suggests I ran
URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum check-update
And It ended up with the following error
Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
2013-02-24 20:31:45,730 exception: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 77 - "Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)"

So, the actual issue is with SSL certificate but why it is complaining about SSL certificate however it is valid one
My answer:
After adding new repositories, clear your yum cache and update your system before attempting to install any more packages.
yum clean all
yum --obsoletes update
Based on your updated information, it appears your local CA certificates have been corrupted or removed. Try reinstalling them:
yum reinstall ca-certificates
