Re: Trouble installing pear DB

Hello, I'm having problems when trying to execute "pear install DB". The installation fails with error message "ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php5\pear\docs\DB\doc". My system drive is H: and it is set appropriately.

Could you try $ pear -V $ pear config-show ?

I have no idea where does the path "C:\php5\pear\docs\DB\doc" come from. I have looked php.ini and it does not contain "C:\". The command that is executed from pear.bat is as follows: ---clip-------------------- "H:\Programs\php-5.1.2-Win32\PEAR>"H:\Programs\php-5.1.2-Win32\.\php.exe" -C -d output_buffering=1 -d include_path="H:\Programs\php-5.1.2-Win32\pear" -f "H:\Programs\php-5.1.2-Win32\pear\pearcmd.php" - - install DB" ---clap-------------------- Below is more verbose error report. ---clip-------------------- H:\Programs\php-5.1.2-Win32\PEAR>pear -v -v -v -v -v -v -v install DB

I like this one, I was the inventor of it, as I was struggling with pear. Yes, verbose 5 should let that beast crying all along. $ pear -d verbose=5 ... $ pear -vvvv ... should do it , not sure it works by bill gates ... cheers -- toggg
