I have looked back over what I have done, and cannot see what has caused the problem to occurr. I do not see anywhere where it could have been from any action that I have taken, including deleting the contents of the yum cache.

I have done both of these steps and got the same results as you. This may be because I have already re-installed ca-certificates as Tony's suggestion.

The main thing is that the server now has a working yum once again, but it wouls have been nice to find out the original cause.

Once again, thanks to everyone for you assistance.  I found it very educational.
