How to configure PEAR in server

Question

I'm using Batavi to build an online store, and when I install it is giving error like

PEAR is not installed on this server or path to a directory with PEAR is not specified in the include_path.

and another error like Version of Apache on your server has been hidden.

I don't have any idea how to set it up, may be with php.ini file, can some one help me?

Answer 1

Depending on your operating system probably there should be a pear package.

For example on ubuntu linux it is php-pear, and you can install it like this:

sudo apt-get install php-pear

If pear is only missing from your include_path, you should add it in your php.ini files. (somewhere around /etc/php*)

In my case /etc/php5/*/php.ini:

include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"

But you should verify the path.
