CentOS YUM broken
I have a CentOS 7.7-1908 clean install on a sever. I was having trouble with YUM updating packages and I attempted to clear out the broken YUM records and start fresh. I made it worse, and now the server isn't working at all. I keep getting a message:
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
There are no enabled repos.
Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
To enable Red Hat Subscription Management repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable <repo>
To enable custom repositories:
yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
Only there are no repositories in the list when I try to run the suggest commands. Is there any way to get this back without wiping the server and starting over? Tried some research but nothing seems to work.

I tried this command, but it keeps sending back "404 Not Found". Maybe it will be easier to wipe and reinstall the system?
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/packages/centos-release-7-7.1908.0.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/packages/centos-release-7-7.1908.0.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Repos within. Once you have the initial reference.

Thank you everyone for writing in. I did end up wiping the server and doing a clean install as I got frustrated with it. This time everything is working properly with YUM. I went with CentOS 7.7 only to keep feature parity with my other server at my main campus that houses the same product. I will get them both on CentOS 8 if the update process allows. Thank you all for your help!
You're welcome!
Glad everything worked out smoothly!
