I guess this is because php doesn’t use svn anymore, but github. Pear installer still uses svn addresses and they are empty directories now. If anyone can find a solution, I will be glad too.

Well, after reading through all the posts and not getting any of this to run, referred to Jonathan’s Post #10 and made sure the path pointed to my pear_admin folder on the go-pear setup screen. Apparently, the .conf file in my root directory was not pointing to the correct folder and causing a server 500 error – or so I think. I did several installs with different fold options and no wonder I had paths pointing left/right/up/down… no wonder it did not work.

Once I reinstalled and followed the rest of the setup procedures, probably with the help of all other fixes posted, I finally got mine to run as promised.

I am happy. Thanks to all who took the time to help everyone else.

The instructions works only if you have a linux hosting with godaddy and not with Windows hosting. Pear gets downloaded but when it comes to execution, it is not possible to give permissions to the folders created.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone. I know there were a few hiccups along the way, but through everyone’s responses I was able to get it to work.

Going to the http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/ site to generate my .htpasswd content saved the day. (Rob you may want to try that if you haven’t got it working yet.)

I tried to install go-pear.php on a shared godaddy hosting account but got the following error:
“Sorry! Your PHP version is too new (5.2.17) for this go-pear. Instead use http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar for a more stable and current version of go-pear, more suited to your PHP version.”

Anyone have an idea what to do with the ‘go-pear.phar’ file? I can’t just rename it and run it as a php file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
WSG

Hi, I’m getting a 401 Authorization Required error. (The server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.)

For testing purposes, I put in the user and password that is being used on this site, but authorization keeps failing. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi guys, your post is so very helpful in installing and configuring PEAR.

I’ve got PEAR running on my godaddy.com shared hosting, and also the Mail module. But when I tried to send a mail through my gmail account, its returning the error status:
“Failed to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]”

Then I figured out that its a problem if openssl is not present. But then, godaddy has already got openssl installed but still I’m getting this error. Anyhelp would be really helpful.

Regards,
LoGiX
