#24819 [Opn]: most pear cli commands have problems with permissions

ID: 24819 Updated by: meebey@php.net -Summary: most pear cli commands require root rights Reported By: meebey@php.net Status: Open Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: after I got some background info from pierre, I understood that it's not a user problem. It's a problem of filelocking, which only works right when the user runs the pear cli that installed it. So own user installations of PEAR work in their homedirs. The systemwide one only for root in this case (root installed it). I will analyze this problem further...
