Fedora 14: yum update fails: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository

Fedora 14

yum update fails: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository

After long search i found the solution for this, the issues is which base url has been changed not working old urls.

Step 1: Login in fedora 14 system

Step 2: Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

Step 3: Copy and paste the following contents to that file
