Linux server, enable PEAR --with-pear

[the182guy]

Hi all,

I want to change a configuration for php, it is currently this: --without-pear, I want to change it to --with-pear.

phpinfo is showing this:

'./configure' '--build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--disable-debug' '--with-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--without-pear' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--without-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-pspell' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/file/magic' '--without-sqlite' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr' '--with-xml' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--without-mysql' '--without-gd' '--without-odbc' '--disable-dom' '--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--disable-pdo' '--disable-xmlreader' '--disable-xmlwriter'

How can I change this?

I'm using a Linux dedicated server, I have SSH root access.

I've read I need to do a ./configure command, but it's saying command not found, which directory should I be in?

I don't even know where PHP is installed, search is showing 2 php.ini here:
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini
/etc/php.ini

The first one looks like part of Plesk control panel which I'm using.

Cheers!

You need to rebuild PHP. Download the source into a directory then run ./configure --enable-so --with-pear plus whatever other options you need (use configure --help to show available options). Then run make and make install.

This process is documented on the PHP website.


Plesk and cPanel both control PHP installations themselves, thus splattering configuration files everywhere so that they can be managed via the panel interface.

In fact, Plesk may have a graphical interface for rebuilding PHP, although I am unsure.

Ok cheers mate. I fixed it by installing the 'go-pear.php' script, it hasn't changed the --without-pear, but it's fixed my problem.

Nevertheless the info is useful as I've ran into this configure probem before.
