 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-41-46 ~]$

when I do yum install --skip-broken httpd it returns :

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    httpd-2.2.27-1.3.amzn1.x86_64 from amzn-updates
    httpd-tools-2.2.27-1.3.amzn1.x86_64 from amzn-updates

So what have you tried to resolve the problem? What research have you done on your own? We frown on people that just dump errors here and expect a "free" resolution without showing that they've put some effort into it before coming here. — EEAA, Aug 06 '14 at 22:04

You are trying to install the httpd package, containing version 2.2 of Apache, but you already have httpd24, containing version 2.4 of Apache, installed.

Before doing anything else, first decide which version you actually want.

You already have it installed! Why are you trying to install an older version? – Michael Hampton Aug 06 '14 at 22:10
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-41-46 ~]$ sudo service httpd restart httpd: unrecognized service it says its not recognized. its not running either.I ran pgrep apache and pgrep apache2 and it doesnt return any thing – cppit Aug 06 '14 at 22:11
