ID: 24848 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: deni_simo at libero dot it -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.1 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-30 00:02:00] neufeind@php.net Did anybody encounter this with the latest php-versions / PEAR installer again? Otherwise we might count it as resolved imho. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-20 10:32:39] martin dot brook at ukonline dot co dot uk The problem does not occur with php 4.3.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-30 04:23:29] arnaud@php.net Under NT4 PEAR conf PEAR executables directory bin_dir C:\php PEAR documentation directory doc_dir C:\php\pear\docs PHP extension directory ext_dir c:\php4 PEAR directory php_dir C:\php\pear C:\>pear install Auth downloading Auth-1.2.2.tgz ... ...done: 21,992 bytes install ok: Auth 1.2.2 Try a pear -vvv install Auth This will be very verbose. Report the parts where .tmpusers appears. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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.
