Hey Tim, This is what I know from my experience installing PHP/MySQL on several machines with multiple upgrades in the last year...
1) Pear only works with CLI in PHP. Doesn't work with CGI. So you must already be in CLI mode with PHP. 2) ***Example of proper reference to PHP and Pear in the PHP.ini file**** ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Paths and Directories ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" ; include_path = "" ; ; Windows: "\path1;\path2" include_path =".;c:\php\;c:\php\ext\;c:\php\pear\" 3) Only .dll file types work as extensions in PHP.ini Like this ***extension=php_msql.dll*** and without the ';' right infront of the word "extension". any other file type doesn't work. Make sure the php_name.dll is in the PHP\ext\ directory and placed in the php.ini spelled correctly. Question, is your MySQL ODBC connector installed? Are all references to MySQL and Pear made with correct syntax and spelling, where they are needed? And lastly, because this happened recently to me and made me crazy for a couple of hours... Make sure the permissions on the MySQL, Pear and PHP directorys are open to your server and you. Forgive me if you already know these things.
