Problem in yum commands

Hi.
Whenever I give any yum command, i get the following errors:
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

My yum.conf file looks like this:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
installonly_limit=2
reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
proxy=http://rakshaka.wipro.com:8080/
proxy_username=trtaa
proxy_password=**********
export http_proxy=http://trtaa:March_2008@10.111.16.139:8080

Plz help.
Thanks in advance.

you're looking in the wrong place. in this directory:

/etc/yum.repos.d/

you will find various .repo files. likely one is called fedora.repo. This has the mistake in it.

Check the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file. Remove # sign before first baseurl line.
