./pear: Permission denied

Category: Extensions, Upgrading – Posted Friday, June 12th, 2009.

If your’re getting a permission denied error when trying to either upgrade or install an extension, chances are the permissions are off on your pear file. No worries – it’s a simple fix. SSH into the root directory of your Magento installation and type the following command:

chmod 550 pear

    Most people do not have access to the Hosting SSH, so perhaps a FTP way would be required.

    On other side the software should fix this issue by itself. It is so complex and powerful nowadays that that kind of fixes dont need to be done by users.
