Hi, I am trying to install a package using SSH because my Web-based PEAR is not working. So, I type in "pear install Date." But, it only says Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution in RPC.php on line 464 Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to pear.php.net:80 in RPC.php on line 464 xml_rpc_client: Connection to RPC server pear.php.net failed What do I do? Thanks

You seem to have a problem with the DNS server of your server, does: ping pear.php.net give you the IP address of a pear server or does it fail? 90% sure that it will fail, and probably because there's a wrong configuration setting for DNS. (DNS is for hostname-> IP conversion). If you can't fix the DNS, you can always modify RPC.php, to change pear.php.net to 216.92.131.66, which is the IP if I ping pear.php.net. Note that this isn't a fix, but only a workaround, and the IP of the pear server might change someday and then your stuck with the old IP. So really try to fix the DNS problem..
