If UniformServer is located at: c:\UniformServer Then PEAR wont work as its configuration is hard coded for: C:\Coral_8_5_6\UniformServer\... So i moved the uniform server to a folder named Coral_8_5_6 which has nothing todo with the current version 8.5.7 and now i am unable install any modules using PEAR!!! PEAR Channel Management is able to ensure all modules are updated. PEAR list all packagenames is able to list all available modules correctly I enter zip in the Quick-install a package entery and click install and here is what i get: "No releases available for package "pear.php.net/zip" - package pecl/zip can be installed with "pecl install zip" install failed" Where do i enter pecl install zip ?
