# sudo pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.1.6.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.1.6.tgz (-1 bytes)
....done: 3,585 bytes
Could not get contents of package "/tmp/tmpspT8Og/APC-3.1.6.tgz". Invalid tgz file.
Download of "pecl/apc" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pecl/APC"
[root@D18634 tmp]#

What does this error mean? How do I fix it, thank you.

    it looks like it doesn't download the archive correctly. try again later. – Paul Jan 09 '11 at 07:02
  • Is `/tmp` (or `/`) full? Always the first thing to check! – mattdm Jan 09 '11 at 19:48
  • It is a known bug that has a workaround, as posted on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23762141/pear-succeeded-but-it-is-not-a-valid-package/ – Werner May 23 '14 at 08:21

would not be surprised to find that 3k file is an html page. perhaps a 404 or a 503? Also, did you install the pre-requisites? The default CentOS 5.5 requires up-to-date php-pear, php-devel, and httpd-devel before pecl can run and compile apc.
