SO , as you can see the file exist under the PATH: D:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear\PEAR\PEAR 3) I already understand that Class 'PEAR_Validate' is not part of the PEAR Validate package. PEAR_Validate is part of PEAR You can see it on the following URL: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/core.ppm.php So the conclusion is that PEAR_Validate class is not part of http://pear.php.net/package/Validate it's class which belongs to PEAR package it's self and not the validate package. 4) I tried to upgarde the PEAR package to the latest version/revision: D:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear>"d:\inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear\pear.bat" upgrade PEAR Notice: Use of undefined constant PEAR_VALIDATE_DOWNLOADING - assumed 'PEAR_VALIDATE_DOWNLOADING' in PEAR\Command\Install.php on line 584 Fatal error: Class 'PEAR_Validate' not found in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear\PEAR\PEAR\ChannelFile.php on line 1514 5) I tried to install Mail-1.2.0b2 package: pear.bat install --alldeps Mail-1.2.0b2 Fatal error: Class 'PEAR_Validate' not found in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear\PEAR\PEAR\ChannelFile.php on line 1514 7) How to resolve the issue ? I dont want to delete the PEAR directory. This is the easy resort. I want to find the source of the issue. THIS IS THE CHALLENGE !!! thanks in advanced.
