Re: Configuration probleme

Hi JaBro! Congratulations you success with PEAR. :) Are you mean a package documentation? I think to see that, you just open it directly by double clicking on Windows Explorer. Or are you mean PEAR_Info? to run it just run pear client with filename as argument, but the output was hard to read. Anyway, I guess you now couldn't run PEAR_Frontend_Web (via Web), In my opinion that's nice if you installing pear under your web server document root, cause some package example source e.g "Image" and PEAR_Info the output will be send to browser, and package e.g phpDocumentor provide web interface and it's more easy than using command prompt. For addittion, here my configuration: Apache Document Root: D:\NET\www\release\htdocs (primary, 127.0.0.1:80) Apache Document Root: D:\NET\www\development\htdocs (virtual, 127.0.0.2:80) PHP Version: 4.3.4 PHP Directory: C:\Programs Files\PHP PEAR Directory: D:\NET\www\release\htdocs\PEAR" I hope information above may use for reference, however all of these are back to you. If you don't understand what said, or have any question, just leave me the message. I will try to aswer it as best I can with my pleasure.
