Description: ------------ I get this error during installs and uninstalls (havent tried other commands). I have added some debugging output and removed the @ infront of the fopen() in the _lock() method of Registry.php. Here is the output. What is odd is that the .lock file appearently gets created a bunch of times before it eventually fails. The quick fix for me was to simply disable the locking inside the source all together .. using --ignore-errors didnt solve the issue. Actual result: -------------- C:\PHP>pear install RDF-alpha resource(71) of type (stream) resource(72) of type (stream) resource(73) of type (stream) resource(74) of type (stream) resource(76) of type (stream) resource(77) of type (stream) downloading RDF-0.1.0alpha1.tgz ... Starting to download RDF-0.1.0alpha1.tgz (56,104 bytes) .............done: 56,104 bytes resource(133) of type (stream) resource(135) of type (stream) resource(136) of type (stream) resource(137) of type (stream) resource(138) of type (stream) resource(139) of type (stream) resource(141) of type (stream) resource(142) of type (stream) resource(217) of type (stream) resource(218) of type (stream) Warning: fopen(C:\PHP\pear\.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in R egistry.php on line 289 bool(false) could not create lock file: failed to open stream: Permission denied

"Warning: fopen(C:\PHP\pear\.lock): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Registry.php on line 289" Are you sure you have the permissions to use this folder? write mode? Anyway this messages should be silent and something cleaner displayed. --Pierre

Well I have admin rights on windows. Also as you can see from the dump creating the lock file seems to work several times before it suddenly fails.

Using Registry.php from the PEAR_1_3 branch with my PEAR 1.3.1 install still gave me: C:\php>pear uninstall xml_annotea could not create lock file: failed to open stream: Permission denied But then I totally wiped my PEAR install and reinstalled and the issue seems gone. However I am quite sure that back then I also wiped my PEAR install. So I am not sure whats going on.
