This means the repo "epel" was not configured. The first command evidently failed:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
This should place a file at /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo, with a first line:
[epel]
That first line is the name of the repo, so if you don't see it, it's not there.
Try downloading the file first -- just paste the URL into the address bar of a browser:
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
And work from there by installing it:
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
The package enables the epel repo by default, so you shouldn't have to say --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=epel (note my difference of opinion on quotes).

@TimothySwan - The fact you're getting an error fromaliensuggests you're using a non-Red Hat OS. All Red Hat OSs userpmas the backend package format; with eitheryumordnffor the frontend package delivery mechanism. Your system has something else on the backend and frontend; e.g.debpackages delivered byaptin Ubuntu. In other words this question about CentOS and EPEL does not apply to your situation. Hope that helps!
