→ migrate from wamp to xampp pear issues 2008 server
I’ve being playing around with the Apache Ant tool and definitely WAMP server was not up to the challenge. I started having several issues with xdebug and Pear features in general… So, I thought about giving a try to XAMPP (which I think that the home page is king of weird… lol, any way…) it comes with much more configuration options… therefore if you” know” what you are doing I think is much better!
Well, firs problem was that I Got the following error on running pear.bat from command.com.
The PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR is set to ='c:\wamp\php\php5.2.6'. you need to change the path in the environment variables or change it in pear.bat file.
I tried deleting the environment variables from my 2008 server System (pretty much the same as vista) & restarted. But no luck!
Then again deleted the environment variables I created and logged off and on my computer...then again ran pear.bat from command.com...now got the initial error again:
C:\Documents and Settings\ Administrator\pear
PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR is not set correctly.
Please fix it using your environment variable or modify
the default value in pear.bat
The current value is:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\pear
go-pear.bat still gives me the same error:
C:\xampp\php>go-pear.bat
ERROR: manifest length read was "1236" should be "678716787"Press any key to continue . . .
Then I tried adding them using DOS SET command, though found that its a temporary command. Then added them through right click “computer” > System > Advanced > Environment variables...
PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR=C:\xampp\php
PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=C:\xampp\php\pear
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=C:\xampp\php\.\php.exe
Ran pear.bat....it ran this time w/o any errors & this was the output, which made me realize that the env variables are being taken from some file located elsewhere in the C:\ drive.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>pear config-show

Searched and found a pear.ini file in the c:\windows directory & it had the following old paths....

So I deleted all these files outside of my XAMPP directory > restart > and that was it… I can now use pear with out a problem and configure XAMPP however I want to...
