Earlier today, someone reported pear.php.net as being down. I checked, and it’s loading, so I sent it back to them for Feedback. Later, I built PHP with PEAR so I could use the `pecl` command to install an extension for testing. When I ran `make install`, I got a nasty failure on the `install-pear` target. It’s getting a 404 on the PHAR file.

Take a look at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77604

Additionally, it looks like all the PEAR manual files are gone, so maybe the site went down and didn’t come back up properly?

Cheers,
Ben

I saw that after posting here. :-)

In the meantime, is there a copy of the PEAR installation Phar file somewhere else, so I can install PEAR?

Cheers,
