Description gerry_doris 2002-07-02 14:08:49 UTC

Description of Problem:
/etc/php.ini supplies an include path of /usr/share/php.  That doesn't exist in 
Redhat 7.3.  Instead the php packages are installed in /usr/share/pear.  This 
causes problems with applications that use php ie. installing mysql support for 
squirrelmail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How Reproducible:
Do a cd to /usr/share/php.  The directory doesn't exist.  The packages are 
installed in /usr/share/pear.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


Additional Information:
I ran into this when installing mysql support for squirrelmail.  squirrelmail 
reponded with an error that it couldn't find one of the pear packages it needed 
in directory /usr/share/php which is listed as the php search path 
in /etc/php.ini.  

I fixed it by just doing a ln -s /usr/share/pear /usr/share/php

You should change the search path to replace /usr/share/php 
with /usr/share/pear.

Humm
well thats the default php abuses

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"

(what were they thinking with a pathname like that)

I've inserted this into the standard php.ini file

include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"              

I've additionally looked at php 4.2.2 and it did the same thing
rawhide currently doesn't show 7.x components that are rebuilt for errata but
this one is queued up for the next 7.x errata release. php 4.2.2-x has the fix
in and will be available from rawhide tomorrow I'd think
