How can i use the pear php extension with my unix-based hosting plan?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

PEAR, which stands for PHP Extension and Application Repositoryis a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP code components.

PEAR is installed on the Aplus.Net UNIX-based hosting servers. However, you have to enable PEAR for your particular hosting plan with a custom php.ini file. This could be achieved using the PHP Configuration tool available in the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

  1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Now, select the hosted domain that you'd like to manage.

Note: If your actual domain name does not yet resolve to Aplus.Net’s servers, you must use the utility domain (yourftpusername.web.aplus.net) that is associated with your Unix-based hosting plan.

  1. Click the PHP Configuration tool.
  2. Click the Create php.ini button. Note: If you are already using a custom php.ini file, you can skip step 6.
  3. Click the Advanced Edit button. Your php.ini will be opened in edit mode.
  4. Uncomment the line ;include_path = ".:/usr/local/share/pear" by removing the semi-colon sign (;) from the beginning of the line.
  5. Finally, click Save Settings.
