Hi,

Thanks in advance. I need some help with installing PEAR on my local
machine. I already installed apache. I can install php 5.2, but how do I
do install PEAR while using the installer program. It is driving me
crazy.

Thanks

So you have now a working PEAR installation.


| After that, to update my PEAR installation from
| go-pear.org, I request http://go-pear.org/ in my
| browser and save the output to a local file
| go-pear.php in c:\Php. 

The downloaded "go-pear.php", want's to do the same as "go-pear.bat":
Install a new PEAR.

If you want upgrade PEAR, use the PEAR Cli:
| c:
| cd \php
| pear list-upgrades

Now you can see for which packages upgrades are availible.

With:
| pear upgrade Pkg_Name
you can upgrade a single package.

With:
| pear upgrade-all
you can upgrade all installed packages.

Regards,
Carsten

Description:
------------
After installing apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl,
php-5.2.3-win32-installer with extra pear install,
I have manually execute the batch file located in c:\php\go-pear.bat. 
Finally I have add the installation path to my PATH environment by run
(double-click) the newly generated PEAR_ENV.reg. 
After that, to update my PEAR installation from go-pear.org, I request
http://go-pear.org/ in my browser and save the output to a local file
go-pear.php in c:\Php. 
Then I run php go-pear.php in a Windows Command Prompt to start the
update process

But this process is never ending...
Please, is there any body to help me, it makes me crazy :o(



Test script:
---------------
C:\PHP>php go-pear.php

Expected result:
----------------
Below the screen copy of windows command :

Welcome to go-pear!

Go-pear will install the 'pear' command and all the files needed by
it.  This command is your tool for PEAR installation and maintenance.

Use 'php go-pear.php local' to install a local copy of PEAR.

Go-pear also lets you download and install the PEAR packages bundled
with PHP: MDB2.

 7. Temporary files directory     : $prefix\temp
 8. php.exe path                  : c:\php\php.exe
