Not able to install Pear HTTP_Request

    I have had my first cPanel server running for several months. I've recently installed a second server with Centos 5.4 and WHM 11.25. I just moved an account from my first server to the new server. This account has been active for several months and has been using phpList without issue. When my customer attempts to send a message that requests a web page, they are receiving a HTTP_Request error.

    From his control panel, I've selected Software / PHP Pear Packages. When I attempt to install HTTP_Request (1.4.4 Stable) I get this error:

    WARNING: "pear/HTTP_Request" is deprecated in favor of "pear/HTTP_Request2"
    WARNING: "pear/Net_URL" is deprecated in favor of "pear/Net_URL2"

    ......done: 17,109 bytes
    Could not get contents of package "/home/account_name/tmp/pear/cache/HTTP_Request-1.4.4.tgz". Invalid tgz file.
    Download of "pear/HTTP_Request" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
    Error: cannot download "pear/HTTP_Request"

    ​


    Can anyone help me with this install?

    Thanks!

    If SSH access is available, please let us know the output from the following commands:
    Code:
    # /usr/local/bin/pear -V
# /usr/bin/pear -V
    I would try to ensure that PEAR is updated to the latest version to minimize possible issues.

    Via root SSH access, the following commands should help to accomplish updating PEAR:
    Code:
    # /usr/local/bin/pear upgrade PEAR
# /usr/bin/pear upgrade PEAR
    At the time of writing the latest version is "1.9.0" as reported by the following site: http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR/download

    /usr/bin/pear -V returns:

    PEAR Version: 1.7.2
    PHP Version: 5.2.12
    Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0

    I ran /usr/bin/pear upgrade PEAR with the following output:

    PEAR: To install optional features use "pear install pear/PEAR#featurename"


    When i attempt to install HTTP_Request 1.4.4 thru cPanel, I get the same result as before the PEAR upgrade.

    When performing the same PEAR upgrade using the path "/usr/local/bin/pear" was the result the same as when using the path "/usr/bin/pear"?

    Upgrading with /usr/local/bin/pear upgrade PEAR returns:
    Nothing to upgrade

    The output of /usr/local/bin/pear -V and
    /usr/bin/pear -V are both:

    root@secure02 [~]# /usr/local/bin/pear -V
    PEAR Version: 1.9.0
    PHP Version: 5.2.12

    There is an interesting article here:
    ServerGrove Blog » Blog Archive » Obscure PEAR error: invalid tgz file

    Following the example, i ran:
    root@secure02 [/home/teermans/tmp/pear/cache]# pear install --offline HTTP_Request-1.4.4.tgz
    pear/HTTP_Request requires package "pear/Net_URL" (version >= 1.0.12)
    pear/HTTP_Request requires package "pear/Net_Socket" (version >= 1.0.7)

    I ran pear install --offline for each of the packages.

    Under Software >> PHP Pear Packages, HTTP_Request isn't shown, but the other two packages now reflect the updated versions.

    I then attempted to send a message using phpList that required a URL to be loaded for the message. This message sent without error.

    I'm assuming that this fixed my problem, but didn't update cPanel.

    Is there an update needed for cPanel for this issue?

    Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

    Before using the off-line install option was an independent update of "Net_URL" and "Net_Socket" attempted via WHM, cPanel, or CLI/SSH access? If yes, did this fail with a specific error, like that of the "HTTP_Request" module installation?

    Is the feature "Magic User Loader" enabled for Pear? This can be toggled using the following menu path in WHM:
    WHM: Main >> Software >> Module Installers >> PHP Extensions and Applications Package [Manage]
    Documentation: PHP Extensions and Applications Package

    Prior to the offline update, I did not attempt to update the packages with WHM, cpanel or SSH. Also, the Majic User Loader was disabled. I just enabled it.

    It will help to confirm the access permissions on the binaries tar and gzip, verifying if they are set as executable. Please let us know the output of the following two commands that may be used to confirm the existing access permissions, including the executable ("+x") status:
    Code:
    # stat /bin/tar
# stat /bin/gzip /usr/bin/gzip
    Thank you for the details thus far; it is greatly appreciated. :)
