I'm having problems getting PEAR installed on the latest uniserver 5.7.1.

Running on Windows 7 64bit I've downloaded a fresh copy of uniserver 5.7.1 and Apache, mysql and the admin panel all work ok.

Now when I click on 'Install PEAR' under the plugin menu (Go-PEAR v1.1.2) and choose MDB2 while leaving all of the other options as the defaults then click install I get the following response and error.

Starting installation ...
Loading zlib: ok

Bootstrapping Installer...................
Bootstrapping PEAR.php............(remote) ok
Bootstrapping Archive/Tar.php............(remote) ok
Bootstrapping Console/Getopt.php............(remote) ok

Any ideas as to the problem, do I need to change any of the default settings or have any specific php setting activated?

Just as an update with uniserver 5.5 and the updated go-pear v1.1.2 I can get it does install correctly.

Just wonder if both uniserver 5.7.1 and uniserver 5.5 share the same version of PHP backend ...

I think that 5.5 has php 5.3.1 and 5.7 has php 5.3.5 so that could be the difference.

It looks as if go-pear.php v1.1.2 remains the latest version (as per Pear web-site).
However core and other elements have been updated while go-pear has been neglected.

Solution is to edit file:
UniServer\home\admin\www\plugins\pear\go_pear.php
Locate this section:

'PEAR.php'			 => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/pear-core/branches/PEAR_1_4/PEAR.php?view=co',
'Archive/Tar.php'	  => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Archive_Tar/tags/RELEASE_1_3_2/Archive/Tar.php?view=co',
'Console/Getopt.php'   => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/pear-core/branches/PEAR_1_4/Console/Getopt.php?view=co',

Change as shown below:

'PEAR.php'			 => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/pear-core/branches/PEAR_1_6/PEAR.php?view=co',
'Archive/Tar.php'	  => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Archive_Tar/tags/RELEASE_1_3_3/Archive/Tar.php?view=co',
'Console/Getopt.php'   => 'http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/pear-core/branches/PEAR_1_6/Console/Getopt.php?view=co', 

All the best

Thanks for the solution, I've not tried it yet as I'm in the midst of using an older version but based on the comment above it looks like it works so I'll give it a try soon.

Been having problems installing Pear, and this information made it work. Now I just need to figure out why I need it, and what does it do. (as I scratch my head)

[Shyokou Ouyou]

Well, if you like to figure it out ;-)
