RE: PEAR:MDB2_Schema install fails

 

For the most part the PEAR packages installed ok for me although I haven't actually tested any of them. Using Windows 7 64 bit and Orion 7.16.). But this one package fails to install. message from Pear Package manager is below. I am a bit of a newbie with PHP and PEAR, any tips how to find the problem, or where to start would be helpful.:

 

 

Did not download optional dependencies: pear/XML_DTD, pear/XML_Serializer, use --alldeps to download automatically

pear/MDB2_Schema can optionally use package "pear/XML_DTD" (version >= 0.5.1)

pear/MDB2_Schema can optionally use package "pear/XML_Serializer" (version >= 0.18.0)

downloading MDB2_Schema-0.8.5.tgz ...

FIRST question: Why doesn't it say "C:\UniServer\user\local\php"?

Also, the PEAR installation path should be "C:\UniServer\home\admin\www\plugins\pear\PEAR", which is already set for The Uniform Server.

Mine ran without problems on Win7-64.

I started the install from the Apanel Plugin Manager (left nav panel).

 

Also, at the top of the Go-PEAR Installer page it says:

 

Installation in progress ...

(If the page stops loading before the end of the installation, then just reload it)

 

Assuming the paths are correct, did you follow what it says there? You could have had a timeout error.

No idea Bob.

 

My php path is actually:

 

d:\Software\UniformServer\us_ide_1\UniServer\usr\local\php\

 

The package is downloading to:

 

d:\Software\UniformServer\us_ide_1\UniServer\home\admin\www\plugins\pear\temp\download\

 

The server and php work fine, also the mysql works fine. I haven't manually edited the paths anywhere in config files. I have also been playing around with the portable IDE but I don't see how that is the problem. I guess I can try a simpler path, will let you know what happens with that.

There MAY be a bug related to it being on a different drive. After all, it's trying to create a directory on C: (why?).

Its probably me. I think I was using the wrong pear package management tool. Was using this page to do the extra package installs:

 

http://localhost/apanel/plugins/pear/index.php

 

I am going to uninstall all pear and try it again.
