go-pear on Windows XP

[mmaru]

I downloaded php and put the it in F:\webserver\php and configured php.ini. PHP works fine with Apache2.

When I try to install PEAR by issuing the go-pear on the command line one of the items on the list does not make sense:

12. Path to CLI php.exe : F:\webserver\php\.

It should have been(without the \.) :

12. Path to CLI php.exe : F:\webserver\php

I did not continue with the installation, because of the above issue.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Maru

What is your question? Weren't you able to change the wrong value? IIRC the PEAR installer shows you the auto-detected values and offers below the list a prompt that allows you to change every single values by entering its number.

I am unable to change the wrong value. When I get an error when I try to change it. I am not sure what to do.

I do need to use pear to install PHPUnit. Your help is very much appreciated.

The error message is as follows:

**ERROR** : not a folder, or no php.exe found in this folder.

Press Enter to Continue.......

When I press enter I get the list again i.e. it does nothing.

Do you get the error message directly when you try to change the value (i.e. before you have the chance to edit it) or after having changed the value?

Mark,

I must say thank you for trying to help me. I get the error message directly when you try to change the value (i.e. before you have the chance to edit it).

If you don't have a chance to change the value, I'd consider this as a bug. Please file a bug report on pear.php.net for the PEAR package.

Not sure if it will help you - but we found a stray coppy of pear.ini in the windows directory with the added part of the path in it.

We renamed the file and ran go-pear.bat again and it created a new one correctly - and completed the install...

Not sure if it's really an issue but I noticed the same issue and it was because my class path setup in my environment variables was C:\PHP\ . I changed it to lower case c:\php\ and it looks like it's gonna work.
