Cannot find php-fpm to for PHP 7.2 to install on Centos 7.5

Question

Have created a new VM server for a project, it is running Centos 7.5. After following a large number of different articles online to try and get nginx and PHP 7.2 running on this box I cannot get the correct version of PHP or the PHP-FPM module to install.

I ran the following command:

yum install php php-common php-opcache php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-fpm

The result was as below

Update

The most recent article I tried to follow was: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/install-nginx-php-fpm-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

Executing the install command there:

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php72 install nginx php-fpm php-common

Result (truncated to show PHP versions):

php-common     x86_64        5.4.16-45.el7       centos                               565 k

Here is your problem:

639 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

You or someone else has explicitly excluded packages from being installed on your system by setting priorities in /etc/yum.conf or in individual repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

Check all of these files for lines that read priority=### where ### is a number, and delete any that you find. Then try installing packages again.

To ensure this doesn't happen again, you should also remove the offending yum plugin with something like yum remove yum-plugin-priorities.

Thanks! That (along with having to reinstall the rempi repo) did the trick! – tip2tail Nov 13 '18 at 15:02
I also recommend that you explicitly enable the remi repos you are using in their configuration, rather than just on the command line as in that tutorial. This way you will be able to get any updates. – Michael Hampton Nov 13 '18 at 15:03

Thanks Michael. BTW, the wizard usually gives all needed tips => https://rpms.remirepo.net/wizard/ – Remi Collet Nov 13 '18 at 15:45
