MAMP PEAR configuration is pointing to local directories

Question

I am using MAMP 2.0.5 and I have an issue upgrading PEAR

• MAMP: How to upgrade PEAR

The issue is that PEAR is always installed in the "local" PEAR directory instead of the MAMP PEAR directory.

My MAMP PEAR configuration is the following:

sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-show

My question(s):

• Is it correct that MAMP is using "local" directories to install PEAR?
• Could someone point out how a "correct" MAMP PEAR configuration should look like?

Some suggestions how to fix?

Update (1):

first I switched to MAMP bin dir

cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/

checked the content of the directory

ls -al
total 56080
drwxr-xr-x  10 udos  admin       340 Dec 26 11:40 .
drwxr-xr-x   7 udos  admin       238 Dec 10 14:09 ..

-rwxr-xr-x   1 udos  admin      4582 Dec 26 11:40 phpize

after applying the changes according willems answer my config looks like this

./pear config-show

check PEAR version generates the following error

AirTime:bin udos$ ./pear version
-bash: ./pear: No such file or directory

this looked strange, so I checked the content of bin dir

AirTime:bin udos$ ls -al
total 56056

-rwxr-xr-x  1 udos  admin      4582 Dec 26 11:40 phpize

some files are missing:

• pear
• peardev
• pecl

checking

AirTime:bin udos$ which pear
/usr/local/bin/pear

reveals that PEAR was installed locally (again)...

Some ideas how to fix?

Update (2):

I had to install PEAR locally. That fixed the issue.

Answer 1

I did a bit of digging and this seems to resolve the php version issue:

sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set php_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set doc_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/doc/
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set data_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/data/
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set test_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/test/
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set www_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/www
sudo mkdir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/www
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-show
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear config-set cfg_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/cfg
sudo mkdir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/cfg

Then just cd to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin and run ./pear upgrade --force

This will set all the config files in the .pearrc of your home directory, haven't looked into integrating them into the pear.conf in MAMP..

Answer 2

If someone is having this problem, after having the exact problem, my solution was:

cd /usr

and create a local install in that directory

$ wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
$ <MAMP PHP PATH> -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar

Answer 3

You can use PEAR bundler:

http://github.com/c9s/Onion

you can just run:

 $ onion.phar -d bundle 

to install pear packages into local directory. (without root permission)

Answer 4

For MAMP 2.0.5 with PEAR 1.9.2

I had the same problem and think I came across an easier or at least more obvious solution after some digging and frustration.

Use PEAR's config-set command to change the install directories like so:

pear config-set bin_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin

pear config-set docs_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib

Then continue down the line reassigning paths from local directories to the MAMP installation.

Now:

pear upgrade --force PEAR

That should give you an upgrade of your MAMP PEAR to 1.9.4.

I took a much more convoluted route trying to get PHPUnit working with MAMP that involved transplanting the install manually and later reassigning the config paths, but I think this solution should be sufficient.
