I have a new install of Centos 6.3 64 bit and receive this error when I try to do a yum erase of any httpd.

Could not retrieve the mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was
14: PYCURL ERROR 77 – "Problem with the SSL CA Cert (path? access rights?)"
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again.

it is possible your /etc/pki/tls/certs/ is messed up. Back up all files in there first, and then download new certificate bundle, as described here:

curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Linux – Why is yum not working properly

You appear to be trying to get at a Fedora 6 repository. I believe Fedora 6 is EOL. There might still be mirrors around, but the mainstream mirrors have mostly been retired. You probably are looking at an upgrade to a more current version of Fedora.

If you are not keeping on the Fedora upgrade treadmill, you may be happier moving to a distribution which doesn't churn as quickly, such as CentOS.
