Start Web Frontend of the PEAR Installer - Problem

[alexloh]

I've got the go-pear installer installed. But when i tried to start using its Web Frontend, I got problem. The "Start Web Frontend of the PEAR Installer" link at the page bottom sent me to a wrong URL: http://libs/index.php

I tried to modify the URL pointing to the correct file: http://202.75.43.30/libs/index.php

It then gave the following errors:

Warning: Can not find config file, please specify the $pear_user_config variable in /libs/index.php

Error: the template directory (C:\php5\pear\data\PEAR_Frontend_Web\data\templates) is not a directory, or not readable. Make sure the 'data_dir' of your config file (C:\php5\pear\data) points to the correct location !

What should i do next?


These are the installation completed message that i got while installing the go-pear installer.

hi mate,

I had the same problem and I found solution for it. You need to open the index.php and change the urls inside like this for example:

$pear_dir = 'C:\xampp\php/PEAR'; // default of install

$pear_user_config = 'C:\xampp\php/pear.conf';

Then it will be working. But can you please see if you can install packages ? Because I have an error there unable to unpack bla bla..

I have a topic for it a bit above yours.. if u find solution or doesn't have problem with this.. let me know ;]

Good luck!
