Pear installation broken

[thomasW]

Hy serverteam,

I have severe problems with pear on the community server.

It was not installed, so I had to try this myself.
I was not able to install it on "/usr" due to missing permissions.

Trying to install it into "/home/ACCOUNT". This worked only 1 time.
After I got it working and installed phpunit, pear was broken and did not
run anymore.

Now the the pear.conf file which was written by the configuration within
/etc was not broken.
I was not able to delete it due to missing permissions.
Nor was I able to edit it, to fix the failure.

Within the pear.conf file is only a php failure written instead of the conf
content.
So pear is not running due to missing configuration.

I tried to uninstall it but this was not possible due to missing
permissions.
I tried to install it once again to get it repaired, but this was also not
possible due to missing permissions...

At last phpunit is running after I changed php.ini to allow argc/argv.
But I am not able to install Xdebug due to missing pear.
And phpunit writes that it can not find AllTests.php which is in the same
directory where I called phpunit...

Summary:
I spent several hours since the last 2 weeks and it does not work.
So I am not able to fix the issues which are related to linux.

It would be nice if someone with "permissions" can fix the problems...
otherwise I would have to leave the related issues unfixed until someone can
help me out with this.

For now the sandbox is quite useless to help me fixing the linux related ZF
issues, because the
problems do not show up in cygwin nor in my vmware... but they should show
up in the sandbox.

Btw:

This is the content of the pear.conf file

**************
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.1
Content-type: text/html

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  file_get_contents(new-pear.conf) [<a
href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to
open stream: No such file or directory in
<b>/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/strip.php</b> on line <b>23</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  array_key_exists() [<a
href='function.array-key-exists'>function.array-key-exists</a>]: The second
argument should be either an array or an object in
<b>/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/strip.php</b> on line <b>16</b><br />
b:0;
****************

quite confusing as within the community server PHP 5.2 is installed.

Just tried it but failed due to pear.conf permission problem.
My account exists since 22.3. I think the crash was some days later.

Passwort will be sent extra.

Sorry to bother you but there are still issues...

pear is running, but I am not able to install any package.

I am not able to update any channel or install phpunit...
The related bug is http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=10847

I have not the permission to
"mkdir /tmp/pear/temp"
As described within the fix for this bug.

All I want to have is a Zend_Framework SVN installation with phpunit
installed to test the related linux issues...
Any other one who can help ?

Greetings
Thomas

Hy,

I hope this one is the last... then all should work...
I am not able to run any unittest.

I can call phpunit. and it returns it's options.
But I am not able to run any tests... with all options I start phpunit, it
always returns "no tests within class xxx found".

Normally I change the path to

"Zend/tests"... and when being in the tests directory I call "phpunit
AllTests.php"...
Is there another way to do this within linux ?
Or is it just another "permission" problem ? ;-)

I hope you can help me.

PS: "Zend/library" is in the include-path of php.ini.

Thanks,
Thomas
