[SOLVED] Unable to install PHP, MySQL on RHEL5

Issue

I'm trying to install PHP and MySql on an Apache Web Server on a RHEL 5.7 VM. I have tried to do it with the following yum Remi and EPEL repos:

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm

It looks like there are "Missing Dependencies" whenever I try to do this:

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install mysql mysql-server php php-common

Then, I get the following error:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I already have httpd (I can run service httpd start), and whenever I try to install libaio, I get this:

[root@mod2014 rpm-gpg]# yum install --enablerepo=remi,remi-test libaio libaio-devel
Setting up Install Process
No package libaio available.
No package libaio-devel available.
Nothing to do

Solution

As you can see on this webpage, there is no libaio rpm package in the repo you're trying to use. I would suggest you to include this CentOS repo into your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory or download everything manually.

By the way, what is reason of using such an outdated RHEL distributive?
