Re: DataObject ini error

Hi, I tried #1 (will try #2 shortly -- re-installing PEAR). I had limited success. I no longer received the error, and in fact the script got to Generate.php and printed out CREATING FOR mysql://sg:password@localhost/database (again with the actual existent db names in this string). After printing that line, the script stopped executing and returned to the command prompt. Nothing else was printed out, not the word DONE or any tables; and no files were created. The execution time was less than a second. While I try re-installing PEAR, are there any other thoughts I should keep in mind?
