Upgrading PEAR from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 fails

Hi All,

I'm willing to install phpunit 5.3 with MAMP 1.9 and there for I need to upgrade PEAR to version 1.9.1. The current version installed is 1.9.0.

When I try the to upgrade I get the following:

sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net
sudo pear upgrade pear
Could not get contents of package "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear". Invalid tgz file.
upgrade failed

When I force the upgrade It still doesn't work:

sudo pear upgrade --force PEAR
downloading PEAR-1.9.1.tgz ...
Starting to download PEAR-1.9.1.tgz (293,587 bytes)
.............................................................done: 293,587 bytes
upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/PEAR-1.9.1
PEAR: Optional feature webinstaller available (PEAR's web-based installer)
PEAR: Optional feature gtkinstaller available (PEAR's PHP-GTK-based installer)
PEAR: Optional feature gtk2installer available (PEAR's PHP-GTK2-based installer)
PEAR: To install optional features use "pear install pear/PEAR#featurename"

sudo pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.0

As bindbn suggested:

sudo pear install --offline /Users/tom/Downloads/PEAR-1.9.1.tgz 
Ignoring installed package pear/PEAR
Nothing to install

sudo pear upgrade --force --alldeps PEAR

pear -V

I hope someone can figure this out! Thanks!

• Try:

  sudo pear upgrade --force --alldeps PEAR
  

  or

  sudo pear install --offline /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/pear/PEAR-1.9.1.tgz
  

  Skelton : Unfortunately this did not worked either, see my post for the output.

• Hi,

  I had the same problem. You must reconfigure it to find the PEAR packages.

  Replace the php version of Mac OS X by that of MAMP

  $ cd /usr/bin
  $ cp php php.bak (Backup the old version)
  $ ln -s /Application/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/php (link to the version of MAMP php)
  $ sudo chmod 0554 /Application/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/* (makes all the scripts executable)
  
  $ php -v
  PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar  5 2010 16:45:34)
