Trying to install php-soap and getting the 'No package php-soap available.'

  • 772

Tried this:

yum install php-soap

Says:

No package php-soap available.

Then tried this:

yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php-soap

Still same sh!t. Tried this:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Still no luck. Guys, where's the repo that contains the needed package?

The server is at vps.net btw...

linux centos php

  1. firstly open /etc/yum.conf file. Find exclude line and erase php* command, then, save the file.

    Then, 'yum install php-soap' command should work.

    rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

    rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

    Remi Dependency on CentOS 5 and Red Hat (RHEL) 5

  3. I have it in epel and rpmforge repos on CentOS 5. Did you try with --enablerepo:

    yum --enablerepo=epel install php-soap
