yum list *php* was not showing any packages. using yum update, the CentOS server went from version 6.3 to 6.6, but i still don't see any php packages with yum list *php*
yum repolist is showing:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: p3plmirror02.prod.phx3.secureserver.net * epel: dl.fedoraproject.org * extras: p3plmirror02.prod.phx3.secureserver.net * remi: mirrors.mediatemple.net * remi-php55: mirrors.mediatemple.net * remi-safe: mirrors.mediatemple.net * updates: p3plmirror02.prod.phx3.secureserver.net remi remi-php55 base epel extras remi remi-php55 remi-safe updates
what have I messed up? where are the php packages?
Finally found this from googling: the php packages were excluded in /etc/yum.conf. I just edited the line that starts with exclude= and removed php* from that list.
Try putting the search in single quotes:
yum search '*php*'
Otherwise, your shell will try to expand the stars to mean files matching that pattern.
