Install Php-pear to /usr/share Raspbian (debian)

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am running Raspbian on my Pi and have installed PHP-pear, I have some software that requires PHP-pear but is normally installed on a Fedora based machine so pear is normally found at /usr/share/pear

But the default install location for debian is /usr/share/php/PEAR Would it be possible to change the install location to /usr/share/pear ? I have tried creating a symbolic link from /usr/share/php/PEAR to /usr/share/pear but that dosnt seem to work (Still get an error in the software saying it failed to open required 'PEAR/command.php').

Any ideas would be great!

Pear was installed using

apt-get install php-pear

I had created the link using

ln -l /usr/share/php/PEAR /usr/share/pear

And the error the program gives:

"Fatal error: require_once(): Failed oepning required 'PEAR/Command.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear')"
