Re: installing pear

im also having similar problems with win 2k i am installing by downloading go-pear and running it with php -q go-pear, which seems to work correctly (everything gets installed under c:\php\pear) the only pear.bat file that i have was installed in c:\php\scripts Calling this file seems to do noting e.g. c:\php\scripts> pear c:\php\scripts> pear install Config [nothing] ive ended up manually copying the pear files to the right locations :( At 09:54 27/09/2002 +0200, Hakan Kuecuekyilmaz wrote:

But, c:\php4 is in my system path! and c:\php4\scripts\pear.bat gets installed not c:\php4\pear. Did I miss something?

Not really, there is a bug in the package definition under windows. It does not copy pear.in files. Normally, you got : pear.bat file in c:\php4 pear installation under c:\php4\pear Somewhere in the c:\php4 folder, you have a file named 'pear' (usually in c:\php4\pear), just copy this file to c:\php4\pear\scripts\pear.in. This is where pear.bat will looking for. strange, there is _no_ file called pear (there are pear.in pear.m4...) I just get php 4.2.3-Win32.zip, unziped it under c:\php4, added c:\php4 to my path under win2k, run wget -qO- pear.php.net/go-pear | php -q in the windowsbox (cmd). the installation wents fine, but ends with: --------------- ** WARNING! Backed up old pear to C:\\php4\pear.bat_old The 'pear' command is now at your service at c:\php4\pear ** The 'pear' command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to ** use 'c:\php4\pear' until you have added ** 'c:\php4' to your PATH environment variable. Run it without parameters to see the available actions, try 'pear list' to see what packages are installed, or 'pear help' for help. -------------------- - there is no C:\\php4\pear.bat_old, but C:\php4\pear.bat_old - there is no 'pear' command at all, but pear.bat - I cant use c:\php4\pear, because there is no such file - c:\php4 is in $PATH: cmd: PATH -> .... NSTAN~1\JOVE1.6\bin;C:\php4;Z:.; well, the pear installer not works for me on win2k. I hope this helps to get the installer working. -- Hakan Kuecuekyilmaz, University of Applied Sciences Esslingen Germany <hakan@lisas.de> ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: webmail.fht-esslingen.de -- PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
