Hi guys
I need to install PEAR on a shared hosting. I try to install it using the script go-pear.php but it don't work; the SEO of the server say me that PEAR core are installed for using on Hsphere control panel, but users is not allowed to install aditional modules.
I need install the module Spreadsheet/Excel
How I can install it with other method.
If I copy and paste the Spreadsheet folder it will works?

"don't work" is a bad description of an error. If you tell us more about the error messages that you get, we might be able to help you.
Manual installation by extracting the package file is possible, but not recommended. You'll also need the OLE package in this case. And, of course, the PEAR package itself.
You could also install PEAR on your local system, and use the remote installation procedure. Details can be found in the manual.
Another possibility is to install both PEAR and various package (like the Excel package) locally, and to transfer the files via FTP. This works in most cases without trouble, but not for every package. |

| Code: | Starting installation ...
Loading zlib: ok
Bootstrapping Installer...................
Bootstrapping PEAR.php............(remote) ok
Bootstrapping Archive/Tar.php............(remote) ok
Bootstrapping Console/Getopt.php............(remote) ok
Extracting installer..................
Downloading package: PEAR.............ok

I will install PEAR and their modules on my local machine and after I'll transfer the files to my server via ftp.

I did install a copy of PEAR on my local server and it work correctly, then I did transfer the folder pear to my web hosting but it seems not working. It don't display any error message or warning when I try to access to mysite.com/pear
The pear index.php file is allocated on this folder but it don't show anything.
My program now found the pear instalation folder and it seems to generate the excel file, but it only return a empty .xls file.
I need configure some file to use PEAR from this way? Can anyone help me?
PD: my hosting provider not allow me to install pear individually. They have a instalation but the module Spreadsheet/Excel is not installed.
Thanks |

To get error output, you can insert the following lines at the beginning of your script(s):
| Code: |
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
require_once 'PEAR.php';
PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_DIE);
|
If you get an empty Excel file, you most likely need to set a temporary directory via SEW's setTempDir() method. |

Thanks for you reply,
I put the code for show errors in my script and I get this string:
| Code: | | Warning: realpath(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/hsphere/local/home/user_path/:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/) in /hsphere/local/home/user_path/domain/pear/PEAR/System.php on line 459 Warning: realpath(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

I was replace the real user path and domain with string "user_path" and "domain".
Thanks for helps |

| My guess was right then. You'll need to set a temp dir (needs to be a (sub)directory inside of /hsphere/local/home/user_path/). |

Hi,
I get now the correct excel file after setting the temporary directory via setTempDir(). 
But I can yet access the pear front end interface. which is the file that I need to modify to set the temp dir? I prefer set the temp directory via conf file, I don't like to use the method setTempDir() because it may vary from one server to other.
Thanks for your help, it's very usefull. |

You can or you cannot? I guess "cannot". If it's your provider's installation, you cannot access it. Just think of 100 users on that server, and that everybody could install or uninstall packages ...
But there is always the possibility to install yourself, as explained in the PEAR manual.

This temp dir is specific for SEW, and there is no global configuration possibility. I can only think of putting a variable (or constant) in a configuration file, and to use this variable in every script that uses SEW (and that call setTempDir()). |
