Issue
I've been stuck trying to install a LAMP web server on my virtual machine running RHEL7 because the packages appear to be missing!
I've installed and enabled various repositories but I still can't see the packages I want.
I'll take you through the steps:-
1) sudo yum clean
2) sudo yum update
3) sudo yum install httpd24 php56 mysql55-server php56-mysqlnd
Then I get the following:-
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos
No package httpd24 available.
No package php56 available.
No package mysql55-server available.
No package php56-mysqlnd available.
Error: Nothing to do
4) sudo yum repolist all
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, search-disabled-repos
repo id repo name status

5) I also tried sudo yum –-enablerepo=epel install httpd24 php56 mysql55-server php56-mysqlnd - but this didn't do anything!
What am I missing??
Thanks!
Solution
These packages are not correctly named.
You can use 'yum search' to find the right package. For example:
yum search httpd
Will return lots of packages including :
httpd.x86_64 : Apache HTTP Server
Then you can get informations about this package with 'yum info' :
yum info httpd.x86_64
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Installed Packages
Name : httpd
Arch : x86_64
Version : 2.2.15
Release : 47.el6_7.1
Size : 2.9 M
Repo : installed
From repo : rhel-6-server-rpms
Summary : Apache HTTP Server
URL : http://httpd.apache.org/
License : ASL 2.0
Description : The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible
: web server.
Here the version is 2.2.15.
Using the --enable-repo=epel option is useless as this repo is enable in your repositories.
Hope it helps.
