Getting PEAR to Work at Case

Posted at September 15, 2005 11:25 PM in Case IT , PHP .

For some reason PEAR, PHP's package repository, isn't accessible at Case. When you attempt to download packages from the web site, downloads take about 2 minutes to start. Who knows what the problem is.

Take the following steps to correct the problem:

  1. Find an open proxy from this list
  2. Run ` pear config-set http_proxy <proxy_address>` (where <proxy_address> is an IP address with port, eg 1.2.3.4:8080)
  3. Test your settings by running `pear install`
