Main problem here - I think - is that in the past I managed to work without PEAR, but increasingly I'm finding some PEAR package needs to be installed to do things which in the past simply worked :( Since the customer sites are secure without internet access, simply downloading things via the installer does not work. This may simply be because libraries that included some of this stuff are now simply switching to PEAR instead.

can you provide some example?

For example - a bad one since these are pulled in by the project, but it is what I have currently documented. The crib sheet http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/Version2.1+Windows+niggles was needed to help get new users working, where previous installs simply worked from the zip. http://www.bitweaver.org/downloads/file/11619?highlight=PEAR works with PHP5.2.6 but gives errors on 5.3.0 Those errors now need to be isolated between the core code and the PEAR and other libraries. It takes some time to test every possible path in a full bitweaver install :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
