On the config page, I set the install directory to: /home/betterco/pear_local Then, told all the installer front end to be written to: /home/betterco/public_html/_pear/index.php Both directories had permissions set to 777. The install went fine, and afterwareds, I followed the link to the Web installer page. The URL that I am taken to is: http://my.webaddress.com/_pear/index.php?enableJS=1 And, the page simply displays: Error could not create directory: /usr/local/etc All of the links throw the same error--the package management, list all packages, and configure options. > >> All of the files were in the local user's home directory. >> I also saw that there is an update to Web Front-end, but it is an "alpha" package >> and the Web >> installer only downloads stable packages.

I downloaded "go-pear.php", and was trying to self-diagnose the problem before sending anything to the list--but, I had no luck. I was curious if there was a relationship between the two--my real problem is above.
