title: Symfony plugins not installing?
body: <p>I am having some issues trying to install plugins from symfony into my project:</p>
  
  <p>OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard</p>
  
  <p>MAMP 1.8.2 (PHP 5.2.10)</p>
  
  <p>Symfony 1.2 (standalone symfony framework + project as recommended by the <a href="http://www.symfony-project.org/getting-started/1_2/en/01-Introduction" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Symfony Getting Started</a> tutorial. e.g. I save the symfony framework in a lib/vendor folder inside my project).</p>
  
  <p>I run the following command to install the sfGuard plugin from inside my symfony project</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ./symfony plugin:install sfGuardPlugin
  &gt;&gt; plugin    installing plugin "sfGuardPlugin"
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Attempting to discover channel "pear.symfony-project.com"...
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin downloading channel.xml ...
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Starting to download channel.xml (663 bytes)
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin .
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin ...done: 663 bytes
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Auto-discovered channel "pear.symfony-project.com", alias
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin "symfony", adding to registry
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Attempting to discover channel
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin "plugins.symfony-project.org"...
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin downloading channel.xml ...
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Starting to download channel.xml (639 bytes)
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin ...done: 639 bytes
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin Auto-discovered channel "plugins.symfony-project.org", alias
  &gt;&gt; sfPearFrontendPlugin "symfony-plugins", adding to registry
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I check the plugins folder there is nothing in it. I run the command again</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ./symfony plugin:install sfGuardPlugin
  &gt;&gt; plugin    installing plugin "sfGuardPlugin"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run the plugin:list command it doesn't indicate that the plugins was installed. This is all I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ./symfony plugin:list
  Installed plugins:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And still nothing. Am I missing something here? Is my pear install not configured properly? Is this a known issue? Does symfony place the plugin code somewhere else? I am used to the symfony 1.0 way of doing things.</p>
  
  <p>Any troubleshooting tips welcome.  </p>
