Re: Installing of PEAR packages on windows

Sorry, I didn't post to the lists the last time (simply replied ..), one more little question. On my Windows XP - PC I have a Xitami Server. PHP is running as CGI. Version 4.2.3 What is the secret about pear? In the manual there it is mentioned that pear is like CPAN. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php#about.pear Is there no way to download and install as easy as Perl-Moduls from CPAN ? ( http://www.cpan.org/ ) I'm trying http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php ff > What downloads are you referring to? PEAR or the individual packages or > what? I'm using just the part of pear coming with the PHP download, e.g. ITX-templates in the directory .../php/pear/HTML/ITX.php > When I run go-pear.php locally "php go-pear.php" I run through the dialog > and set the paths up properly and I *never* get a valid pear.bat. I searched, but there is no "go-pear.php". I loaded the script from http://go-pear.org now. > As far > as I know I should be able to type "pear" at the dos prompt and get a list > of options. Similarly I should be able to things like "pear list" and > "pear install" and that pear.bat does absolutely nothing. I found some scripts \server\php\pear\scripts\ - pear.bat - pear.in - pearwin.php - ... more and \server\php\pear\PEAR\ - Autoloader.php and more - \Command\ - \Frontend\CLI.php In pear.bat I can set some directories like set PHP_PATH=c:\server\php set PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=c:\server\php\pear set PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR=c:\server\php\extensions set PEAR_DOC_DIR=c:\server\php\pear\docs but when I execute I get C:\server\php\pear\scripts>pear config-show CONFIGURATION: ============== bin_dir c:\php4 doc_dir c:\php4\doc\pear ext_dir c:\php4 master_server pear.php.net password <not set> php_dir c:\php4\pear preferred_state stable username <not set> verbose 1 Can anybody help me? greetings, Franz -- "Nobody is perfect, but everybody can do his best!"
