Hi Vladimyr, The locations of files correspond to configuration variables. Try: pear config-show This will list many variables. The ones you want to locate are those ending in _dir. For instance, php_dir, data_dir, test_dir, etc. These all correspond to role="php" role="data" and role="test" How did you generate this package.xml? It's very unusual to see the md5sum in there from a hand-generated package.xml. If you are using PEAR_PackageFileManager, add this option to your options array: 'simpleoutput' => true and the package.xml will be much easier to read. Greg
