If your PEAR installer is acting funky, returning 404’s, remote packages not found etc you may have an ancient version in need of upgrading. As announced almost a year ago, XML RPC would be disabled on Jan 1st, 2008.
Here’s a typical error:
# pear list-upgrades
HTTP error, got response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found)
Read this message on the PEAR website for how to fix it.
