This has happened on 2 server so far running cloudlinux, centos7, and cPanel & WHM v102.0.11
Not sure what the repo id is

Determining fastest mirrors
* EA4: 208.100.0.204
* cpanel-addons-production-feed: 208.100.0.204
* cpanel-plugins: 208.100.0.204
* cloudlinux-x86_64-server-7: us-west.cl-mirror.net

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).

3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...

4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:

yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
The SSL certificate failed verification.

Sorry for the delay Todd. Can you also run this and paste the output please? It seems centos-extra is not enabled hence you got that error.

yum repolist enabled

For CloudLinux users: sometimes, their repos "fastest mirrors" are down or very slow. This will lead to "One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown)" error.

The solution is to edit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf and to enable the line: exclude=eu-fr.cl-mirror.net (that mirror was for me; replace it with what you have) and use yum again.

I've lost 3 hours for this solution. :mad:

Thanks this saved us. We had to exclude us-ny.cl-mirror.net
