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

ID: 21619 Updated by: edink@php.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: Hm, I have just discovered that PEAR was installed in c:\tmp\gp for some reason. pear.bat in c:\tmp\gp\scripts has the following: set PHP_BIN=c:\php4\php.exe set PEAR_PATH=c:\tmp\gp IMHO pear.bat and pear.in should be placed in the ${Installation prefix} and not ${}Installation prefix\scripts. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-28 07:03:08] edink@php.net Sorry but this still does not work on my win2k machine. I get nothing except empty pear dir with the 3 subfolders and a bogus afterinstall message: The 'pear' command is now at your service at ** The 'pear' command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to ** use '' until you have added ** 'C:\php4' to your PATH environment variable. And c:\php4 is actually in my path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-28 04:19:10] urs@php.net Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. Could you please test the Windows optimized go-pear: C:\php>cli\php -n -r "include('http://circle.ch/go-pear');" It works now for me on Windows 2000. I changed the tmp directory creation. Christoph (stone@php.net) and I were discussing go-pear yesterday. -urs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-25 16:10:52] cg at gordimer dot net 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. Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-25 09:52:06] michele dot manzato at verona dot miz dot it It doesn't work for me (PHP 4.3.1). 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
