Hi, I recently bought a VPS from JumpLine.com and I need PEAR installed. I have no idea how to do this, but if I could get someone to do it for me, im willing to pay someone a quick $5 PayPal. For someone who knows what they're doing this should be a quick and easy job. PM me if you think you can help. Thanks, Garrett
You should give it a shot: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.shared.php or http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php
Yeah, ive been looking at that... doesn't help me at all. Its basically jibberish to me. I've tried everything under the sun to try and get it to work. I don't know where to put all the files. I've tried putting them in the root, and in their own folder... nothing works. I have no idea what to do. And now my sites been down for days upon days and ive lost about $200-$300 in revenue.
Depends on the distro you have installed. on a CentOS or Fedora installation you can simply type from the SSH command line this yum install php-pear Code (markup): Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu and other distros have different parameters so it would be matter to know which sofware is your server running.
well, I've managed to install pear. However, the errors persist. take a look: http://diy.fmsfreebies.com I believe the problem is that its looking for pear in .:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/bin/pear , when the actual location is: .:/var/www/html/pear/PEAR/ Any ideas?
Try updating your include_path setting ( http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php ). Your host, apparently, has set PEAR up in /usr/bin/pear, so you may want to ask them how they intend for PEAR to be used.
