Bug #7896 [Com]: can't download packages, neither from cli or from web page.

Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7896&edit=1 ID: 7896 Comment by: brandon dot petersen at gmail dot com Reported By: mikkel at linet dot dk Status: Feedback Id: 7896 Type: Bug Package: Web Site Operating System: Fedora Core 5 (LInux) PHP Version: 5.1.4 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I had the same issue as described. The problem happened because I initially installed a local pear repository as the root user. The next day, I changed the permissions to another user account, but that user couldn't install any new packages because the /tmp/pear/ directory was still present from the previous day, and it was owned by the root user. After I removed the /tmp/pear/ directory, I was able to install new PEAR packages without any problems.

Use the verbose method pear -vvv cmd options. Our server works well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-14 02:53:39] mikkel at linet dot dk Description: ------------ I have almost never been able to use the "pear" command. I always times out before downloading packages. like: [root@tux ~]# pear install --alldeps Mail Could not download from "http://pear.php.net/get/Mail-1.1.10.tgz", cannot download "pear/Mail" Error: cannot download "pear/Mail" Could not download from "http://pear.php.net/get/Net_SMTP-1.2.8.tgz", cannot download "pear/Net_SMTP" Error: cannot download "pear/Net_SMTP" Could not download from "http://pear.php.net/get/Net_Socket-1.0.6.tgz", cannot download "pear/Net_Socket" Error: cannot download "pear/Net_Socket" Could not download from "http://pear.php.net/get/Auth_SASL-1.0.2.tgz", cannot download "pear/Auth_SASL" Error: cannot download "pear/Auth_SASL" When going to you webside and finding the packages and trying to download it can't. (firefox) This is not just a temporary problem with your server, it has been like this for years, I think it about works 1 out off 10 times I have tryied. It is really annoying when you reaaly need a package to get on with your work, that you have to find it on google. Where is the mirror sites for pear.php.net ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7896&edit=1
