You can have both versions on the server. If you do not, upgrading to v5 is harder. I administer one server with almost identical setup. I have added v5.2.x to the configuration. Now all new accounts automatically use v5 and the older ones can upgrade as and when their sites are ready. > 4) because PHP is working as Cli/CGI , this means that I can use personal > php.ini file for domain.com and all php confiugration will be taken > automatically from this personal php.ini > 5) so in our case , each configuration regarding PHP and related to > domain.com is personal and not server wide configuration. > 6) I don't want to install/configure PEAR as server wide configuration. > > So in this point I assume that you understand my environment. > > So what is the Problem ?

Sounds to me like PEAR is not correctly installed. When it is installed, it saves the paths to PHP and itself in the pear.bat file as environment variables. > 1) we have PEAR which is installed (not server wide , but only under > domain.com). How was it installed? If the files were just copied into place it is NOT installed correctly > 2) PEAR works. How I checked it ?

If it simply tests for its existence this tells you nothing. If it instantiates the class and uses it, again proves nothing except that the file is there and is self contained. (includes and requires are satisfied) The only sure way to determine if PEAR is installed correctly, is for pear.bat to work ;-) > some question: > as you see the error msg say someting about C:\Program > Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php , this is the path for the php.exe file > (the PHP CGI/CLI). > because I get error msg then I though that maybe the error msg is because > the PATH for the PHP CGI/CLI is not configured correctly. > So what I did is to use the "Webbased PEAR Package Manager" for checking the > configuration file. > I tried to specify explicity the full PATH for the php.exe by using the > following PATH: C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php\php.exe > BUT nothing , depiste the fact that now the PHP CLI/CGI binary is configured > as C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php\php.exe > I still get the same error msg. > > So I started to think forward and I thought that maybe the reason of such > issue is becasue the full path directory of the PEAR and also the full path > directory to php.exe is not configured in the %PATH% environment variable of > the operating system level. > How I did it ? > I have run the following command in the prompt/command line: > PATH D:\inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear;C:\Program > Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php;%PATH% > > NOW both directories , The PHP CGI/CLI and the PEAR exist in the %PATH% > environment variable of the operating system level. > > You think that this is what resolve the issue ? > Wrong answer. > I still encounter the same error msg when I run pear.bat Try this on the command line: C:\Program > Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Additional\Php\cli\php.exe D:\inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\phppear\pear.bat note the CLI directory > 2) > > I tried to use the "Webbased PEAR Package Manager" for installing additional > packages for PEAR. > The "Webbased PEAR Package Manager" ONLY download the package file but > doesn't deploy/install it. > As I understand the "Webbased PEAR Package Manager" is also intended to > install the packages automatically after downloading the paclage. > BUT in fact it's only downloading the package without installing it after > the download process has finished. > > 3) > > because section 2 , I tried to use the pear.bat file. > > any suggestion ? > > thanks anyone in advanced for any assistance. > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- Niel Archer -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
