problem to install pear

i try to install pear

i have a Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0)

i install it ok , it work in ssh

but i can't get the files from any site account

can you tell my what to check?

 

What exactly are you trying to do? Any error messages?

 

problem is that i don't have acces to the pear files

is about pear.php.net

to use pear in my site
i need to write require_once "PEAR.php";

and when i write that i give an error that it don't find the file

 

What's the output of

Code:

updatedb
locate PEAR.php

?

 

hosting:~# locate PEAR.php
/usr/share/php/PEAR.php
/usr/share/php/Auth/Container/PEAR.php

 

Make sure you have

Code:

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

in your php.ini. Alternatively, you could try

Code:

require_once "/usr/share/php/PEAR.php";

 

i set include_path same at you say, i know about that

when i use require_once "/usr/share/php/PEAR.php";
say that i don't have acces to that file

i have a solution to set open_basedir in ipsconfig options
and include path to pear in that open_basedir
but i need to set it to every account and it is not a nice solution

and i read sameting about a open_basedir security issue
i don't know very much about this.
