Hello,



I am trying to manually install pear for php on windows 2008 server.

IIS 7 is web server.



Most of the basic things are working fine using PHP.

But when i try to run, go-pear.php file downloaded from pear.php.net.

I get following errrors.



I did add following paths to two varibale in php.ini. (open_base_dir and
include_path).

c:\inetpub\wwwroot

c:\php

c:\php\pear.



Any ideas on why this errors are coming.

Go-PEAR Installer





Below above mentioned error.



Following is the list of questions being asked:



1. Installation prefix ($prefix)

2. Temporary files directory

3. Binaries directory

4. PHP code directory ($php_dir)

5. Documentation base directory

6. Data base directory

7. Tests base directory

8. PEAR Installer cache directory

9. Cache TimeToLive

10. Filename of WebFrontend

11. php.exe path, optional (CLI command tools)









What directory should i give for $prefix? I tried giving c:/inetpub/wwwroot

as well as c:\php\pear. None of it works and i get error saying

FATAL ERROR! This directory does not exist and we can not create it.

Create the directory manually or make sure we have full permission

in its parent directory.



Thanks,

When PEAR is installing, it looks around the filesystem to find things it needs.

With the basedir setting enabled, it is getting in the way.

Temporarily unset it, run the installer and set it.

Hi Richard,

I commented the base directory setting and after that I ran go-pear.bat.
It did install everything, but still the application we are using, says pear
is not installed.

I have set include_path to c:\php\pear to the php.ini, but still it is not
recognizing that pear is installed. Also within c:\php\pear there is one
more folder of pear, which contains files like validate.php, command.php
etc. Should the ini file have a pointer to this inner pear folder also?

Thanks,
Bhavin

No need to put C:\php\pear\pear in the include_path, just c:\php\pear

If you open a new command prompt and type SET, what settings do you have for ...

PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR=C:\PHP5
PHP_PEAR_DATA_DIR=C:\PHP5\data
PHP_PEAR_DOC_DIR=C:\PHP5\docs
PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=C:\PHP5\pear
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=C:\PHP5\php.exe
PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR=C:\PHP5
PHP_PEAR_TEST_DIR=C:\PHP5\tests


If you are installing PEAR on the server, have you set these settings
for ALL users or just your account? You may find that the user running
your server hasn't got these settings.

If you use the runas script to open a command prompt using the web
servers account, does it have these settings?

There is a .reg file containing the settings for the current user
(C:\PHP\PEAR_ENV.reg).

You could change the key in this file to ...

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]

to allow you to set the PEAR setting for ALL users on the server.

But check the registry first to see if there are any settings already there..

Hello Richard,

For some reason, this file is not present in my installation.
In c:\php Only files related to pear are pear.ini, pear.bat and peardev.bat.

If this file is not present does it mean it was not installed properly?

Thanks,
Bhavin

No need to put C:\php\pear\pear in the include_path, just c:\php\pear

If you open a new command prompt and type SET, what settings do you have for
....

PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR=C:\PHP5
PHP_PEAR_DATA_DIR=C:\PHP5\data
PHP_PEAR_DOC_DIR=C:\PHP5\docs
PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=C:\PHP5\pear
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=C:\PHP5\php.exe
PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR=C:\PHP5
PHP_PEAR_TEST_DIR=C:\PHP5\tests


If you are installing PEAR on the server, have you set these settings
for ALL users or just your account? You may find that the user running
your server hasn't got these settings.

If you use the runas script to open a command prompt using the web
servers account, does it have these settings?

There is a .reg file containing the settings for the current user
(C:\PHP\PEAR_ENV.reg).

You could change the key in this file to ...

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]

to allow you to set the PEAR setting for ALL users on the server.

But check the registry first to see if there are any settings already there.
