PEAR Forum :: PHP Extension and Application Repository

I am doing a new build of PHP, and I've never seen this come up before. I did a little digging around but I can't seem to locate a solution.

I'm running this on a SLES 9 SP4 server. The build of PHP went well, I'm building 5.2.10

When I try to install the PhpDocumentor I get the following:

pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocal - This should never happen.
install failed

Any ideas as to why I would see this?

I tried rebuilding, and I was watching the make process more closely this time, and I saw this:

I'm also seeing the same behavior when trying to upgrade to 5.2.10 from 5.2.9; I'm unable to install any package via the pear command-line client. The 5.2.9 installation is still working. This is on RHEL4, Apache 2.2.11. Bug in 5.2.10?

I can't imagine that it's an Apache issue; pear's functions are outside of anything Apache would influence.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried

php-5.2.10
php5.2-200906231830
php-5.2.9

I get the same message whenever I try to install any package:

pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocal - This should never happen.
install failed

Any ideas? It used to work in previous installs for me with 5.2.9.

Ok, its likely to do with the pear .channels configuration.
I tried installing 5.2.9 overtop of previous installs of 5.2.10 and it didn't work. However, when I removed /usr/local/lib/php completely and reinstalled 5.2.9 from scratch, the pear installer works now.

Looks like you're right. I copied these two files from my 5.2.9 installation:

/usr/local/lib/php/.channels/pear.php.net.reg
/usr/local/lib/php/.channels/pecl.php.net.reg

And now it works fine. These files are significantly different than what comes with the 5.2.10 release, which looks like it might be incomplete.

Great! Thanks for confirming, I didn't have time to go any further.
One thing for sure, that error message isn't of much use.

Can someone post the pear.php.net.reg and pecl.php.net.reg files from 5.2.9 to avoid the headache of downgrading?

Thanks!

I am seeing the same thing, using Apache 2.0 and Solaris 10 x86. I am following the instructions from the Solaris BigAdmin article on installing SAMP, and now I cannot load any of the PEAR libraries I need Crying or Very sad

Here's a working pecl.php.net.reg file for those who need it as this looks to also be incomplete...

Solution - OS Solaris 10 x86 and Apache v2.11

1. removed /usr/local/lib/php

2. Compiled and install PHP 5.2.9

3. pear channel-update pear.php.net

4. Compile and install PHP 5.2.10

Pear and PHP 5.2.10 should now be working without the protocol error.

Hi everybody,
I had the same problem but I just resolved it.
Delete .channels directory and run "pear update-channels"
It worked for me.
