Error installing new packages throught the Frontend

When i try to use the frontend after installing pear on my webserver using go-pear.php. I get the following error. Any ideas as to why this error relates to permission denied.

failed to create /usr/local/lib/php/.tmpAuth.php: failed to open stream: Permission denied

How can I upload packages using the frontend?

Sounds like the web server doesn't have permission to write in that directory....

I was thinking that but the path name is not a directory I have setup pear in.

For example

http://www.somedomain.com/libs/go-pear.php

this is were I setup pear...

So the front end is located in this directory structure

http://www.somedomain.com/libs/index.php --- this is the frontend...!

so why it is asking to setup in ----- /usr/local/lib/php/.tmpAuth.php

I have now idea!!!!!

And in my directory structure there is not lib/php/ folder....Maybe this is why it wont work...

What do you think about me doing this...

http://www.somedomain.com/libs/lib/php/ ---- create this folder structure... maybe this will work or maybe I do this....

http://www.somedomain.com/lib/php/ and see if that works but ....

Why should this work? Shouldn't the frontend recognize the path structure to the pear installation and accomadate?

I dont get this?
