#21619 [Com]: go-pear fails to install "pear/scripts" directory

ID: 21619 Comment by: cg at gordimer dot net Reported By: michele dot manzato at verona dot miz dot it Status: Critical Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.3.2Rc1 New Comment: Here it doesn't work either, trying to install on another drive: Some files/directories are created in the destination drive (f:): pear/.registry, pear/data pear/docs, pear/tests Some other files/directories are created in a parallel directory structure on c\: pear.bat, .tmppear, and the pear directory with the classes. The installed pear.bat contained: set PHP_BIN=@php_bin@ set BIN_DIR=@bin_dir@ set PEAR_PATH=@include_path@ This was on XP Pro. On NT4 almost the same, but there the directory structure was ok because PEAR was installed on the c:\ drive. Maybe you'll have a look at http://bugs.php.net?17516. I think that's the cause for the wrong default paths. The script should at least look for a php.ini in the directory where it's called from because the ini file is often there.

Problems: 1) bootstrap command should terminate in ';': cli\php -n -r "include 'http://pear.php.net/~mj/go-pear';" 2) go-pear default installation prefix is empty. Should be 'c:\php' (at least). 3) go-pear complains about include_path being '.;c:\php4\includes'. I think it's because of the leading '-n' in the go-pear bootstrap command that force ignore of 'php.ini'. BTW php folks should fix this weird setting sometime... (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21609) 4) 'c:\php\pear\scripts' was still not installed. 5) Running pear.bat as it is installed cause silent failure (no output). 6) the installed pear.bat contained: set PHP_BIN=c:\php\php.exe set BIN_DIR=c:\php set PEAR_PATH=.;c:\php4\pear %PHP_BIN% -C -d output_buffering=1 -d include_path=%PEAR_PATH% -f %BIN_DIR%\pear -- %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 The parameter to -f is meaningless according to the installation. Hope this helps Michele ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-25 09:47:32] edink@php.net Nope. Still no sign og pear.bat. And the packages get installed in c:\php4 instead of c:\php4\pear. Another side-effect is that package .tgz files get left in the c:\php4 dir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-25 08:34:39] mj@php.net Could you please test http://pear.php.net/~mj/go-pear (cli\php -n -r "include 'http://pear.php.net/~mj/go-pear'")? This version works for me on Windows 2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-21 22:45:36] alan at akbkhome dot com Workaround. ignore the comment about pearwin.php - it's an old file? put this in the php4 directory http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/pear/scripts/pear.in?login=2&r=1.67 modify the pear.bat to point to it. modify the pear.in file and change the @include_path@ etc. to the correct locations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-21 22:18:10] alan at akbkhome dot com workaround download http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/pear/scripts/pearwin.php?login=2&r=1.10 put it in the php4 directory and modify the pear.bat script (in wordpad - save as dos file) to point to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
