Report the parts where .tmpusers appears. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-30 04:16:15] deni_simo at libero dot it My system: MS Windows XP PHP 4.3.1 What I did: from DOS promt: c:\php4> pear install Auth What I wanted to happen: install Auth package What actually happened: the package is not installed and I get the following error msg: downloading Auth-1.2.2.tgz ... ...done: 21,992 bytes failed to write C:\php4\pear\tests\Auth\tests\.tmpusers It seems that there is a problem in writing a file with no name and only extension. Explorer and notepad for example do not allow to create a file with no name and just extension. Other programs, such as UltraEdit can do that. With the same method I can install other PEAR packages. Archive_Tar is updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-29 03:36:25] cellog@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. Try pear upgrade Archive_Tar and then install Auth and see what happens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-29 02:31:08] deni_simo at libero dot it Description: ------------ I can successfully install many packages, but not Auth. From DOS: c:\php4> pear install Auth downloading Auth-1.2.2.tgz ... ...done: 21,992 bytes failed to write C:\php4\pear\tests\Auth\tests\.tmpusers The problem could be the file name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24848&edit=1
