Pear On XAMPP

These are the steps I following to get the pear command line utility pear.bat working under xampp for windows.

1. I downloaded the 7z–zipped version of xampp for windows and unzipped it to c:\xampp.

2. I installed the cygwin linux command line utilties for windows.

3. I ran the cygwin “as Administrator” (right click the Cygwin desktop icon and select “run as administrator”).

4. I changed the permissions of the c:\xampp directory to 777

1 2	# cd /cygdrive/c # chmod -R 777 xampp

5. Set the PEAR configuration settings for data_dir, test_dir and doc_dir. For example,

1 2 3

# cd /cygdrive/c/xampp/php # mkdir pear/data # ./pear.bat config-set data_dir c:\\xampp\\php\\pear\\data

Do this for data_dir, test_dir, doc_dir, and cfg_dir as necessary. You will need to create the respective directories first (as shown above for data_dir). Note the use of double slashes! Also note: You may need to do the chmod -R 777 again after the config-sets, to make the subdirectories read/write-able.

To see the current PEAR configuration do

1 2	# cd /cygdrive/c/xampp/php # ./pear.bat config-show

after running Cygwin as Administrator.

6. Now install the packages you want. For example, this is how you would install Doctrine 2 ORM. Again, I am doing this from the Cygwin shell.

1 2 3

# cd /cygdrive/c/xampp/php # ./pear.bat channel-discover pear.doctrine-project.org # ./pear.bat install pear.doctrine-project.org/DoctrineORM

If you want to update current packages:

1 2 3

# cd /cygdrive/c/xampp/php # ./pear.bat update-channels # ./pear.bat upgrade-all
