In some cases you may find that you need to disable or enable a specific yum repository for a single transaction. The following guide outlines how you may review the currently installed repositories, and then explains how to disable or enable a repository for a single yum transaction.
If you would like to learn how to disable or enable a yum repository for all transactions moving forward please review the following guide:

Please keep in mind that the process of managing software with yum is a task that is best suited for a systems administrator with the skills, training, and expertise required to do so for you. Although this task is not related to cPanel we would like to offer the following guide as a courtesy.
