I'll warn you in advance, I am a VERY green linux newbie so please word you responses in terms a third grader would understand.
I have some php scripts that I want to use on my web server. When I attempt to run them they all give the same basic error message that is similar to this one:
Warning: main(functions/ical_parser.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in .. directory... on line 12
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required functions/ical_parser.php (include_path=..directory/pear/) in ... directory... on line 12
(I omitted the directories because this posting program keeps telling me I have to remove my URLs before I can post. This was the only way I could get it to accept it. Sorry...)
I assumed that this meant that PEAR was not installed. Every script I have tried to run has ended with an error that talks about PEAR. IF I AM WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Not knowing anything about PEAR I did two things. First I tried running the pear web installer called go-pear.php. This worked well, for a minute or so. The output of the install job is printed below:
Then it just sits there and goes no farther and I am baffled as to what to do next. Is there a way to install pear manually? Please remember that I am stupid, so don't assume that I know what you are talking about.
I actually did try to download the pear base system, but I was expecting to see a source file. Instead all it is is a bunch of php files. What do I do with them?
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
