Pyrus installation failure - can't change journal to absolute path

183 Views Asked by At

I'm installing pear/DB, but this is happening for other installations of pear libraries as well.

Pyrus\Installer\Exception: Installation failed Pyrus\AtomicFileTransaction\MultiException: ERROR: commit failed
Pyrus\IOException: CRITICAL - unable to complete transaction, rename of journal to actual path failed
Pyrus\AtomicFileTransaction\RuntimeException: Cannot rollback - not in a transaction

is the error.

I'm using a MAMP installation of PHP, and my PHP version is 5.3.6.

So far I've tried:

  • turning off the server
  • running it in sudo
  • googling insanely
  • stalking the chat board in stackoverflow and seeing someone else had the error, but his fix and mine don't like up (I don't have the script that is mentioned in that thread)

So... if anyone can give me a background on why the problem and also some ideas on what to try - that'd be great.
