Running IIS 6, fastCGI, PHP 5.3.6 with PEAR MDB2.
I've installed this setup multiple times with no problem, but as of a couple of days ago when newly installing PHP on servers (this happened on more than one), I get to the point of installing the MDB2 package and I get the following:
C:\Program Files\PHP>pear install MDB2
Notice: Array to string conversion in PEAR\REST\13.php on line 80
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in PEAR\REST\13.php on line 84
Warning: PEAR_REST_10::_returnDownloadURL(): It is not safe to rely on the syste m's timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or th e date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods an d you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone id entifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for '-5.0/DST' instead in PEAR\REST\10.p hp on line 263
In the end, MDB2 is not installed. I've tried installing other PEAR packages similarly and get the same warnings followed by no installation. Even pear upgrade pear results in the same behavior.
I've uninstalled and wiped PHP, re-downloaded the windows .msi installation file, re-installed and still run into the same thing.
Is there a registry item I should look into? Any idea what's going wrong here? Thanks for any thoughts.
pear upgrade pear, run pear version and verify that you are indeed using the new version. Sometimes the setup is fckd up and this does not workphp.ini.-v parameters, e.g. pear -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv install mdb2-beta to get more output
