pecl install mongo command for mongo-1.5.5.tgz pro

Question

Overview

I was creating my Docker image to setup Rockmongo. In the Dockerfile, I have a command

pecl install mongo

This command was working before but when ran t today I am getting this error,

downloading mongo-1.5.5.tgz ...

....done: 3,582 bytes
Could not get contents of package "/build/buildd/php5-5.3.10/pear-build-download/mongo-1.5.5.tgz". Invalid tgz file.

Question

Is there any way to specificy a different version of the Mongo package during the "pecl install command"?

Answer 1

I see this is an old question but anyway ... I had the same issue and it was not due to the pecl website. It seems to be a bug with the "lfs" option when you compile php5. To verify if this is your case type: php-config --phpapi

I got it working by adding the --nocompress option [sudo pecl install --nocompress mongo]
