pear on CentOS with "No Package" message

Question

I googled for hours to find a solution but couldn't find anything.

What can I do with this error? I couldn't install php-pear on centOS 6.5.

[root@server ~] # yum search php-pear

After days finally I could find the answer.

Just type:

sudo nano /etc/yum.conf

And then remove php*

then type:

yum install --enablerepo remi php-pear php-devel

Good luck!

Which is basically the same as Michael Hampton's recommendation. – Deer Hunter Jan 02 '15 at 06:02

Check your yum configuration to learn if the packages have been excluded. Yum cannot install excluded packages, and will not even acknowledge their existence.

The most obvious files to inspect are:

/etc/yum.conf
Each file in /etc/yum.repos.d directory

It's definitely in the base repo (see below from a Cent 6.5 machine). I would try a yum clean all first to eliminate the possibility of a caching issue.
