I'm running the .12 release of Xampp on windows XP pro.
I run with administrator privs on XP.
I followed the instructions on the Pear site to create the pear manager
on windows.
see: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
I did get some error messages about temporary files at the end but
that appeared to be a cleanup issue. The pear.bat file is there, and
it functions (partially).
I can run pear, pear list shows all the packages installed. If I attempt
to install a new package, things go okay until the very end. It downloads
the file, unpacks it just fine but dies at the end while trying to
grab a file lock.
D:\>pear install http://creole.phpdb.org/pear/creole-current.tgz
downloading creole-current.tgz ...
Starting to download creole-current.tgz (74,229 bytes)
.................done: 74,229 bytes
could not create lock file: failed to open stream: Permission denied
At this point the files are in the PEAR directory. Pear list does not show
the package as being installed. I looks like PEAR cannot update its
internal DB of packages.
pear -vvv doesn't give much more information about why it fails. Anyone
debugged this ?
