I have a server running CentOS release 6.10 (Final). I would like to upgrade this to latest CentOS 7.x release. To do this, when I am trying to install upgrade tools to help start with upgrade:
sudo yum install redhat-upgrade-tool preupgrade-assistant-contents
It is giving many errors e.g.
Error: Package: python34-3.4.10-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libpthread.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: php-common-5.6.40-9.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-php56)
Requires: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
Error: Package: php-cli-5.6.40-9.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-php56)
Requires: libstdc++.so.6()(64bit)
Error: Package: php-cli-5.6.40-9.el7.remi.x86_64 (remi-php56)
Requires: ld-linux-x86-64.so.2()(64bit)
Error: Package: python34-libs-3.4.10-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libreadline.so.6()(64bit)
Error: Package: libdb4-utils-4.8.30-13.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)…..
The list is quite large and I am not sure why is it giving this error because I continued to keep this server updated with latest updates from its own repo and still I am getting these errors.
Can anyone look into this and let me know if I am missing something here?
Thanks.

There is not an officially supported direct upgrade path from CentOS 6.x to 7.x so the process is to backup the CentOS 6.x server, followed by a new install of CentOS 7.x and then import the back up data from you old CentOS 6.x server.
