I've built a new system. Windows 2000. PHP 4.3.1. go-pear.php v 1.34. The user TMP and TEMP variables are set to a directory on the D: drive. Running go-pear.php similarly split the installation between the drive I designated and the temp drive. To further confirm this hypothesis, I removed the user environment variables, leaving the system TMP and TEMP variables which lead to a directory on the C: drive. Rerunning go-pear.php produced things going to the right drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 19:23:37] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Hi: Installing PEAR via go-pear winds up splitting the installation between two drives. It seems the installer program specifies a relative path rather than a full path. Here's what I did. f:cli\php -n -r "include 'http://go-pear.org';" I go along with all of the defaults. I wind up getting two php4\pear directories. One is c:\php4\pear, which has the full .registry directory plus three blank directories: data, docs, tests. The second is g:\php4\pear, which contains the main files, such as Db.php, Mail.php, etc. I suspect the installation has wound up there because my TEMP dir is on the G drive. I've tried several incantations, but all wind up doing basically the same thing...
