I am pretty new with this kind of server so please excuse my ignorance.
I asked my company for a Linux Server for hosting a web application and they gave me this system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo) so the first thing I did was trying to install Apache HTTP, which package is called httpd in yum repositories.
Following a tutorial I did:
sudo yum list httpd
Which started returning a series of time out messages coming from a mirror related to my company (Are they hosting rhel repositories? Is this a common practice?)
Anyway I started disabling this mirrors at which point the command
sudo yum list httpd
returned just:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Repository rhel-7-server-rpms is listed more than once in the configuration
Error: No matching Packages to list
I tried adding back some repo without any basic knowledge of the technology so I'll just post the result of this command:
sudo yum repolist enabled
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Repository rhel-7-server-rpms is listed more than once in the configuration
repo id repo name status
epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 13,457
rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/7Server/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Optional (RPMs) 19,380
vmware-tools VMware Tools 1
repolist: 32,838
What should I do? How do I know which repo to add and/or enable to install this common package?
httpdis provided by the base repo. It looks like thats missing. - user3788685
