RE: [PEAR] Sharing pear installation between W2K & RH8 -> Install PEAR from W2K

change directory to your Windows PHP location run the following command: cli\php -n -r "include 'http://go-pear.org';" follow the prompts at the suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation change the following items: 1 - should be wherever your PHP is installed 2 - will default to #1 3 - should be wherever you want to install PEAR 4 - will default to create docs directory under directory in #3 5 - will default to create data directory under directory in #3 6 - will default to create tests directory under directory in #3 Continue to follow the prompts. Update your php.ini and add the directory set in #3 above to the include_path Update the path locations in the pear.bat created in directory from #1 Test your install works with the following command: pear help Do not try to install your PEAR directory (#3) directly under your PHP directory (#1) if you are going to name the PEAR directory 'pear'. The install creates a script file called 'pear' under the PHP directory and if you have located your PEAR directory as 'pear' under the PHP directory the install cannot create the pear script because of naming conflicts with the directory of the same name.

Assuming I am indeed correct another question arises: My Windows installation of PHP is in c:\Program Files\PHP and I want to install PEAR in z:\php\pear where z: is a partition being shared between the two OS's. Since PEAR is not included in the Windows distribution of PHP4.3.1 and I haven't yet installed Red Hat 8 I need to install pear manually from Windows. This is where my problems begin - And from the other msgs in this group I can tell I'm not the only one! How should I install PEAR to the Z-drive using Windows!!?? Even thought I've been using PEAR for ½-1 year I haven't yet succeded in doing a simple complete installation of PEAR but still have to individually download the packages and unpack them to the proper place - very slow procedure indeed... -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
