Answer 1

httpd package can be installed from default CentOS repositories, 'base' and 'updates' (for a newer version).

# repoquery -i httpd | grep -i repo
Repository  : updates

Make sure that you have repository file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo or create it manually, with, at very least, the following content:

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

Then do:

# yum clean all && yum update -y && yum install httpd -y

We ran into this issue as well and found the following in yum.conf:

exclude=httpd nginx php mysql mairadb python-psutil python2-psutil

Removing httpd from there let us install it
