Hi
I am trying to install pear package mdb/ mdb2 and have Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.2.3 running on XP. I installed pear using go-pear.bat. I thought mdb or mdb2 would be installed as the part of pear package but when i run 'pear list' command, i had following packages
Archive _tar 1.3.2
Console _Getopt 1.2.2
Pear 1.5.4
structures_graph 1.0.2
I tried to install mdb2 and mdb using 'pear install -o mdb' and 'pear install -o mdb2' but got error massage that no release for mdb2 exist and mdb2 channel cannot be initialize as path is not valid or package is missing.
same message for mdb.

I tried to install the package from website but couldnot install mdb 2 as zip file was empty.
can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong and help me to sort out this problem.

Please show us the error messages you got (especially the one after "pear install -o MDB2").

If you download the package from the PEAR website, you will get a .tgz (abbreviation for .tar.gz) archive. It should not be empty, and you should be able to install it via "pear install filename.tgz".

Please note that you will need to install also an RDBMS driver, e.g. MDB2_Driver_mysql.

One thing i have noticed is that url to package http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2-2.4.1.tar but in message it is

Code:

channel://pear.php.net/MDB2-2.4.1.tar

If that is the problem then i dont know how to solve it and even then need lots of help. I ran 'pear channel-info pear.php.net' command and information is following

Code:

C:\Program Files\php>pear channel-info pear.php.net

The "channel://" prefix is fine, nothing to worry about. But that "pear install MDB2" doesn't work is indeed strange. Are you behind a proxy server?

On pear.php.net you don't .tar files, there are only .tgz files. For example, http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2 has a link to http://download.pear.php.net/package/MDB2-2.4.1.tgz. Download this file and don't rename it and don't try to extract it. Just call "pear install http://download.pear.php.net/package/MDB2-2.4.1.tgz".

Okay, then you need to set the proxy address first:

pear config-set http_proxy ...

(the dots need to be replaced by the address of the proxy server)

Hi

I run pear config command

Code:

C:\Program Files\php\PEAR>pear config-set http_proxy (our proxy address)
config-set succeeded

After that I try to install mdb2 but did not work

Code:

C:\Program Files\php\PEAR>pear install http://download.pear.php.net/package/MDB2

Could not download from "http://download.pear.php.net/package/MDB2" (File http:/
/download.pear.php.net:80/package/MDB2 not valid (redirected but no location))
Invalid or missing remote package file
Package "http://download.pear.php.net/package/MDB2" is not valid
install failed

C:\Program Files\php\PEAR>-2.4.1.tgz
'-2.4.1.tgz' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I tried to use 'pear install' for mdb and mdb2

Code:

C:\Program Files\php\PEAR>pear install MDB2
No releases for package "pear/MDB2" exist
Cannot initialize 'channel://pear.php.net/MDB2', invalid or missing package file

Package "channel://pear.php.net/MDB2" is not valid
install failed

C:\Program Files\php\PEAR>pear install MDB
No releases for package "pear/MDB" exist
Cannot initialize 'channel://pear.php.net/MDB', invalid or missing package file
Package "channel://pear.php.net/MDB" is not valid
install failed

next instrunction, please
