引言：
CentOS自带的yum源中rpm包数量有限，很多时候找不到我们需的软件包，（例如：要安装网络连接查看软件iftop，默认设置下无法使用yum命令安装），下面教大家在CentOS 6.2中（以32位系统为例，64位系统安装方法一样），使用第三方yum源来安装更多软件包。
一、安装CentOS yum源优先级插件yum-priorities
yum install yum-priorities #输入y安装
二、设置CentOS默认yum源的优先级为最高
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ #进入yum源目录
vi CentOS-Base.repo #在[base]、[updates]、[extras]组下面添加priority=1，在[centosplus]、[contrib]组下面添加priority=2

备注：priority的优先级为1到99，设置为1即优先级最高，1-10为系统保留，第三方yum源的优先级从11-99
三、安装epel yum源
rpm -ivh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo #修改epel yum源优先级，priority=11
###############################################################
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 – $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
priority=11
#################################################################
四、安装rpmforge yum源
wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm –import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo #修改rpmforge yum源优先级，priority=12
#################################################################

protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1
priority=12

五、安装rpmfusion yum源
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/testing/6/i386/rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo #修改rpmfusion yum源优先级，priority=13
#################################################################

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-el-6
priority=13
#################################################################
六、安装atomic yum源
wget http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic #下载
sh ./atomic #安装
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo #修改atomic yum源优先级，priority=14
##############################################################
[atomic]
name = CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – atomicrocketturtle.com
mirrorlist = http://www.atomicorp.com/mirrorlist/atomic/centos-6-$basearch
#mirrorlist = http://www.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/6/mirrors-atomic
enabled = 1
priority = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
gpgcheck = 1
priority=14
##############################################################
七、更新yum软件包
yum check-update
八、安装iftop
yum install iftop
至此，CentOS 第三方yum源配置完成，现在你可以用yum命令安装自己需要的软件了！比如yum install nginx、yum update php等安装或者升级软件包。

扩展阅读：
在使用yum update php命令升级php的同时，mysql也被升级到了最新版，升级好之后重启mysql，有可能会出现下面
的错误信息，导致mysql启动失败。
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)
解决方法（切记，操作前，一定备份mysql数据库）：
rm -fr /var/lib/mysql/* #删除目录
rm /var/lock/subsys/mysqld #删除目录
killall mysqld #结束mysql进程
service mysqld start #启动mysql
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status #查看mysql状态
mysql_secure_installation #重置Mysql数据库密码
