Installing pear on windows, wrong paths

Question

I'm trying to install PEAR on Windows 7.

I have php 5.4 in d:\web\soft\php directory, and I want to install PEAR in this directory too. I run:

php go-pear.phar

I see this:

This paths are ok for me.

Then I run enter and install it. In the end I see this warning:

WARNING! Old version found at D:\web\soft\php, please remove it or be sure to use the new d:\web\soft\php\pear.bat command
The 'pear' command is now at your service at d:\web\soft\php\pear.bat`

and when I press pear config-show I see completely wrong paths related to disk C:\:

Auto-discover new Channels     auto_discover    <not set>
Default Channel                default_channel  pear.php.net

User Configuration File        Filename         C:\Windows\pear.ini
System Configuration File      Filename         C:\Windows\pearsys.ini

So it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Set PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR to the directory where your pear.ini is located.

SETX PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR d:\web\soft\php /M

Answer 2

Try taking a look in parameter include_path at your php.ini:

include_path = ".;d:\web\soft\php;d:\web\soft\php\PEAR"
