I dont want to mess too much with the default install, thats a long path to go down.

Found ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/horde-webmail/horde-webmail-1.2.5.tar.gz in cache …

Installing PHP Pear module Mail …

Did not download optional dependencies: pear/Net_SMTP, use --alldeps to download automatically
pear/Mail requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.5.6), installed version is 1.4.9
pear/Mail can optionally use package “pear/Net_SMTP” (version >= 1.4.1)
No valid packages found
install failed

Thank you
Jason

Howdy,

Hrm, it looks like it’s not seeing the PEAR installer. If that’s indeed the case, the install script may need to have that added as a dependency.

However, to get around that – you can manually pull the php-pear package using yum or apt. We can help with how to do that if you like, just let us know which distribution you’re using :slight_smile:

Ok Thanks I am using the latest version of Centos with all upgrades.

Okay, try typing:

yum update php-pear

That should install the PEAR dependency.

After that, see if the Install Script runs smoothly.

Okay, it seems there’s a dependency issue of some sort that’s not resolvable. I’m not sure I understand what the issue is, but Jamie would :slight_smile:

My suggestion would be to file a support request using the Support link above, include the error message the Install Script is giving you, and Jamie should be able to help you resolve that.

Thanks!

Hi guys i dont know if Denverb got this issue sorted or not but though id post a reply reguardless.

CentOS 5 repos only has version “php-pear.noarch 1:1.4.9-6.el5” when 1.5.6 => is required the CentOS 5 testing repo does have version “php-pear.noarch 1:1.8.1-2.el5.centos” in it though would probably require the whole of php to be upgraded. Not bad since the c5-testing php5 seems better anyway.

edit “/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo” and add the following at the bottom.

DONT ENABLE IT

[c5-testing] name=CentOS-5 Testing baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing

CentOS-Testing:

!!! CAUTION !!!

This repository is a proving grounds for packages on their way to CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras.

They may or may not replace core CentOS packages, and are not guaranteed to function properly.

These packages build and install, but are waiting for feedback from testers as to

functionality and stability. Packages in this repository will come and go during the

development period, so it should not be left enabled or used on production systems without due

consideration.

then I run “yum update php* --enablerepo=c5-testing” producing

Updated: php.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-cli.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-common.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-devel.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-gd.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-imap.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-mbstring.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-mysql.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-odbc.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pdo.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pear.noarch 1:1.8.1-2.el5.centos php-pgsql.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-snmp.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-xmlrpc.i386 0:5.2.10-1.el5.centos

then attempt to install Mail

# pear install Mail downloading Mail-1.2.0.tgz ... Starting to download Mail-1.2.0.tgz (23,214 bytes) ........done: 23,214 bytes install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Mail-1.2.0

Hope this helps someone
