Somethings not right about this install

[GudEmob]

So after many different tutorials (since none just seem to be straight forward and even correct for that matter) I got Apache 2.0, Mysql and PHP, and PhpMyAdmin installed on my machine which runs Windows XP. My problem seems to be with pear I guess. (I really don't know.)

 

So one tutorial during setup said to make a PearTest.php and include the following:

 

<?php

require_once 'DB.php';
PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_DIE);

$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'root';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_name = 'barracuda';
$dsn = "mysql://$db_user:$db_pass@unix+$db_host/$db_name";

$db = DB::connect($dsn);
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT);

?>

 

The problem is I have no DB.php anywhere even after installing PEAR. Since this is the first time Ive ever ran a server on my machine I'm not totally sure how things are done of course. I'm guessing that even if DB.php existed it couldn't just be called out of thin air with no path to where it is stored?

 

Anyway when I run that script I get this error:

 

Warning: require_once(DB.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\www\Server\Apache2\htdocs\testpear.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;C:\www\Server\PHP\pear') in C:\www\Server\Apache2\htdocs\testpear.php on line 3

 

Furthermore I'm trying to install a free php directory script and when I try to pull up the programs installer I get unparsed php. Odd. I ran a phpinfo test and everything worked fine. Yes of course I got the Barracuda installer inside of htdocs. I cant figure it out please help! Heres the barracuda page I get when I run the index.php (basically an unparsed page to me) :

Oh yeah heres my file structure:

 

C:\www\Server\Apache2

C:\www\Server\MySQL

C:\www\Server\PHP

 

Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help me. I greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Pear needs to be within your include path. Can we see the output of....

 

<?php echo get_include_path(); ?>

 

?

[GudEmob]

Sure! Thanks for responding. It output:

 

.;C:\www\Server\PHP\pear

 

So I went and looked in php.ini and found:

 

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;c:\www\Server\PHP\includes;c:\www\Server\PHP\PEAR"

 

Should this be changed?

 

Also I'm not sure if I should have an includes folder somewhere but I dont see one anywhere in PHP or PEAR's folder.

[trq]

Depends... is this (c:\www\Server\PHP\PEAR) where pear is installed?

[GudEmob]

Well now I go inside of PEAR's folder and theres another PEAR folder.

 

C:\www\Server\PHP\PEAR\PEAR

 

Not sure if thats right, there are files and folders in both.

 

Also I wonder why the include path php code you had me run output the path as lowercase "pear" when its uppercase "PEAR".

 

(edit)

 

Now I just looked at the pear.ini and its referencing paths like: "C:\www\Server\PHP\pear" when the path is "C:\www\Server\PHP\PEAR"

 

maybe thats it?

[GudEmob]

Sorry for being impatient... I just dont have much time to get this working. Maybe I should just uninstall everything and use XAMP or something similar.
