scs Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 So I installed a script that needed PHP5. So I manually upgraded to PHP5. Well there's an error and the creator of the script says I need to reconfigure PHP5 with PEAR. The odd thing is I see PEAR installed. Another problem is I cant find the site that I used to install PHP5 from yum. So I'm looking for a easy set of commands to reconfigure/install PHP5 with lots of extensions and PEAR configured with it. Hope someone can help Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Pear is simply a framework (of sorts) used by some php scripts, its written in php so php doesn't need to be rebuilt in order to use it. I'm not a yum user so I'm not sure of the exact commands but have you tried searching your yum repo's for pear? eg; yum search pear Then to install it would be... yum install <package-name> where <package-name> would be something like php-pear (as found by your yum search).

scs Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 It found and installed it. but I still get the error. It seems like PHP cant find PEAR or something like that. Not really sure. I did come across some forums that said I need to tell PHP where to find PEAR. Maybe that's my problem? and if so then what would I edit :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 You need to edit your include_path directive within your php.ini file. Yum should have done this for you, however, it may have failed. You need to find where pear is installed, typically /usr/share/php/pear (or similar), then add this directory to your include_path within your php.ini file then restart your server for your php.ini changes to take effect.

scs Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I didn't find any include_path in my php.ini nor did I find anything relating to PEAR =/ You know how the commands should look? I'll just add them manually Also "whereis" command said PEAR (since php-pear pulled up nothing) is located at # whereis pear pear: /usr/bin/pear /etc/pear.conf /usr/local/bin/pear /usr/local/etc/pear.conf /usr/share/pear seems like there is a bunch of messy stuff happening >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The whereis returned correct data. The pear command is located within /usr/bin as it should be. Your pear libraries are located within /usr/share/pear so add that to your include path. If you don't already have an include path defined (you should) it should now look like.... include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
