pecl installing extension on production server troubles

Question

So I installed the pecl oauth module locally, and it all works perfectly. I then tried to do this for the production server but ran into some problems. If I say sudo pecl install oauth, I get this error: ``` No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/oauth" install failed ``` So I figure I have to update pecl.php.net, so I try the command `sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net`, but then I get this output: ``` Updating channel "pecl.php.net" Channel "pecl.php.net" is not responding over http://, failed with message: Connection to 'pecl.php.net:80' failed: Connection refused Trying channel "pecl.php.net" over https:// instead Cannot retrieve channel.xml for channel "pecl.php.net" (Connection to `pecl.php.net:443' failed: Connection refused) ``` Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Ok, I figured out a way around it. You set up a proxy, but not the normal export http_proxy: way. Here's the command:

```
sudo pear config-set http_proxy http://username:password@yourproxy:yourport
```
