Installing PHP PECL module on OpenShift

Question

I'm trying to install the PECL oauth module on OpenShift by declaring the following in the file .openshift/pear.txt

pecl/oauth

I believe that this is the preferred way to declare project dependencies for PHP projects on OpenShift but I get the following build error;

failed to write /opt/rh/php54/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/oauth.so
(copy(/opt/rh/php54/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/oauth.so): 
failed to open stream: Permission denied)

Is it possible to include this module or must I create a custom cartridge?

Thanks

Answer 1

Is it possible that module is already installed? Have you tried creating a phpinfo(); page to see what modules are already installed and available?
