Writing WebFrontend file ...

Note: To use PEAR without any problems you need to add your

PEAR Installation path (W:\home\admin\www\plugins\pear/PEAR)

to your include_path.

 

Using a .htaccess file or directly edit httpd.conf would be working solutions

for Apache running servers, too.

 

For more information about PEAR, see:

PEAR FAQ

PEAR Manual

 

Thanks for using go-pear!

 

Start Web Frontend of the PEAR Installer >>

 

I just hope I got my include paths right. I ended up with this in my php.ini after the link they offered for instructions errored out:

 

safe_mode_include_dir =".;W:\home\admin\www\plugins\pear/PEAR;/home/admin/www/plugins/pear/PEAR"

include_path=".;W:\home\admin\www\plugins\pear/PEAR;/home/admin/www/plugins/pear/PEAR"

 

BTW, the ?> was missing from the end but it ran without error.

I think its ok...

 

Oh, Thanks... hmm.... works for some i see...

I've managed to get pear working on uniserver after receiving all the errors you guys all have.

 

Open up a command line window, ( Start > Run > "command" > Enter )

 

run the following commands.

 

w:
cd\
cd usr
cd local
cd php
php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
php go-pear

 

The installer should run perfectly if your running this as administrator.

 

Hope this helps, it worked for me after a couple weeks of frustration.

 

Actually, if you use

 

php go-pear local

 

as the last command, administrator access is no longer required, since it modifies the local copy of php.ini in W:\usr\local\php rather than the system-wide one in your Windows system directory.

There should not even be one in the Windows system directory.
