_**_So I have epel enabled on this CentOS 6 server, but yum -y install monit will not install monit. yum search monit does not show monit as available to be installed.

[root@lb1 ~]# yum install monit Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror-CentOS.hostingswift.com
* epel: reflector.westga.edu
* extras: mirrors.usinternet.com
* updates: mirrors.usinternet.com No package monit available. Error: Nothing to do

If I download the rpm manually and try to localinstall it, it will not install..

[root@mb1 ~]# cat /etc/CentOS-release CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
[root@lb1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep monit
[root@lb1 ~]# uname -m x86_64
[root@lb1 ~]# ls -al monit-5.14-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

???!?!?!!!!

I did a rpm -i of the file and that seems to install the file.. but why will it not install with yum?
