PEAR install procedure doesn't work

[ywarnier]

The install guide recommends installing through the PEAR repository, but this is how it works for me:

root@local:~# pear channel-discover pear.netpirates.net Adding Channel "pear.netpirates.net" succeeded Discovery of channel "pear.netpirates.net" succeeded root@local:~# pear channel-discover components.ez.no Channel "components.ez.no" is already initialized root@local:~# pear install theseer/Autoload Package "Autoload" does not have REST info xml available install failed

I guess there's only one tiny bit missing, but still, it's a bit frustrating...

Thank you for your time and reporting this issue. Problem for me though is, i cannot reproduce it:

[theseer@rikka ~]$ sudo pear channel-discover pear.netpirates.net Channel "pear.netpirates.net" is already initialized

[theseer@rikka ~]$ sudo pear install theseer/Autoload downloading Autoload-1.6.0.tgz ... Starting to download Autoload-1.6.0.tgz (11,138 bytes) .....done: 11,138 bytes install ok: channel://pear.netpirates.net/Autoload-1.6.0

So, works for me. As a side note: The pear server is "run" by pirum, so unless there's a bug in it, it should simply work.

I just upgraded the server to pirum 1.0.4 - maybe that fixes your issue.

I had the same issue with another server where the upgrade fixed it

Hi guys,

It seems to work now. Thanks.

I had a temporary issue though, just so you know because I guess you can make more out of it than I can (it's fixed after executing the command once more as follows):
