Installing PEAR in Windows working.

Hello everyone, as I said in a previous message I have PEAR working (seemingly) perfect in an Windows NT and IIS4. (I'm talking about the web installer, I have not tried the cli interface) After trying to follow the documentation I had to throw it again and do the following. 1) with a web browser go to http://go-pear.net 2) save the page as go-pear.php in a directory accesible by your webserver. In IIS under the webroot directory. 2) Prepare the parent directory of where Pear will be installed (such as C:\PHP\ if you are going to install in C:\php\pear), giving permissions to the webserver user (IUSR_WHATEVER, I don't remember the exact name) to write in that directory (I'm using NTFS, and PHP, which is beeing executed as the user IUSR_WHATEVER, needs permision to create the pear directory,...). Note: If you use apache you will have to know as which user it is beeing executed to asign the proper permissions. 3) point a browser to the previously saved go-pear.php and follow its instructions, it's straightforward and, by the way, has a very nice appearance. That's about it. Well mostly. As I said, I installed Pear in C:\PHP\Pear, and this directory is not accessible by the web-server. In the installation a file index.php is created (I don't remember if it was in c:\php or in c:\php\pear) and I had to move it to a directory (such as c:\inetpub\webroot\pear\index.php) Then you can browse the available packages, information,... just by pointing to your favourite browser to the appropiate url (for example http://localhost/pear ) The problem I had is that my webroot directory is in a different drive than the pear installation and installing new packages did not work. A proposed solution is some messages ago in a message titled something like "Why strip drive letters from pear installer" by myself. I have tried installing and unistalling several packages and it seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps, Marcos -- Marcos Mezo <mmezo@selexco.net>
