如何在 RedHat 服务器上安装 httpd？ 什么 Yum 存储库？

Question

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?

Answer 1

httpd2.4 for RHEL is packaged as a Software Collection, so you have to enable some repos first. See these docs:

Release notes Installation

Once you "scl enable" the proper repos, then you'll "yum install httpd24"

If you want a shortcut for setup, use step 1 only on this Python Hello World page , then yum install.
