Re: Configuration probleme

Hi JaBro, I think I know what's your problem. Yes you right, pear packages will not shown because the configuration is not correct. Pear_Info actually using PEAR_Config to grab configuration values, PEAR_Config actually will looking for pear configuration file. I found many vary directories where configuration file located, as below: 1. PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR (Environment Variables), filename = pear.ini, layer = user. 2. SystemRoot (Enviroment Variables), e.g C:\Windows, filename = pear.ini, layer = user. 3. PHP_SYSCONFDIR = Where php.ini located, filename = pear.ini, layer = user. 4. bin_dir = PEAR installed directory, filename = pear.conf, layer = system. 5. bin_dir/pear, filename = pear.conf, layer = system. If you set your configuration using via PEAR Web, you should be see at the top corner where the file "pear.conf" saved. After that try to run PEAR_Info(), this should be run properly, that's all. Note: There's some configuration may false again, to resolve it, just copy pear.conf and rename with pear.ini and save in the same directory where php.ini located. I hope I didn't forget something, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
