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

ID: 21619 Updated by: thesaur@php.net Reported By: michele dot manzato at verona dot miz dot it Status: Closed Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.3.2Rc1 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Note: You don't need to put the php extensions in Windows\System32. Instead, change the setting in your php.ini file to point to your php\ext directory or wherever you prefer keeping the extensions. Will make it much easier to upgrade and will prevent you from accidentally causing dll bloat.

I haven't run into similar problems recently. Just make sure you have: - a recent PHP installed, upgraded with all the files that you found in the .zip version. The .msi installer does not provide a complete installation at all, I wonder why the PHP team decided so. - a reasonable set PHP of extensions enabled (at least php_xml and php_curl, if I remember well). Remember that some works only if you copy the DLLs in the dll directory into WINNT/system32 Bye Michele ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-14 13:29:12] abiale at sgh dot waw dot pl Could you help me? I run apache 2.0/php 4. on WinNT. I`d like to install pear. I ran go-pear.bat, I got some tar gz files, but I don`t know how to go on. The installation trough the web stops at: Undefined class name 'pear' in go-pear.php on line 645 Artur ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-26 11:58:01] pajoye@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Fixed in the current go-pear. Try go-pear from the php4 snapshot using the bundled packages. thank's pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-28 07:07:46] edink@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
