RHEL 7 and Apache Web Server
I need to install Aache web services on a machine running RHEL 7 Desktop. I've registered the OS but when I run yum I get:
[root@localhost packages]# yum install httpd
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
rhel-7-desktop-rpms | 3.7 kB 00:00:00
No package httpd available.
Error: Nothing to do
Stuck. :(

Hi Dale,
Yes, that's the case. The 'Desktop' product, as offered by Red Hat, does not include the httpd package. It is, however, included, in the 'Workstation' product. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Desktops or Workstations for an overview of the differences between the two products. (Basically, they're targeted at different sets of users.)
Absolute worst case, you could use the CentOS repos to pull httpd ...but I'd generally recommend against that (unless you've no other realistic options).
You can either configure yum to consult that repo-system (recommend setting the "enabled" parameter to "0", though), or you can individually pull RPMs/dependencies from it. You'd potentially be putting your system in a weird support-state with respect to opening tickets with RedHat.
Welcome! Check out the Getting Started with Red Hat page for quick tours and guides for common tasks.
