Configuring ZendServer to use Pear on OSX 10.5

I had some issues yesterday trying to use some Pear libraries in a web app.

So, I checked my Pear config:

me:ZendServer laran$ pear config-show

That’s wack. Why are my Pear libraries in /opt/local?

So, I changed those settings so that everything would be in /Applications/ZendServer

me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set php_dir /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR
config-set succeeded
me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set data_dir /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR/data
config-set succeeded
me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set temp_dir /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/temp
config-set succeeded
me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set test_dir /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR/tests
config-set succeeded
me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set bin_dir /Applications/ZendServer/bin
config-set succeeded
me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set download_dir /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/temp/download
config-set succeeded

Knowing that the Zend command line php executable is php-cli, not php, I made one last tweak:

me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set php_bin /Applications/ZendServer/bin/php-cli
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/postgresql-8.2.3/lib/libpq.5.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/ZendServer/bin/php
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Doh! Looks like the damage was already done. So, I had to manually modify /Applications/ZendServer/bin/pear to use php-cli. Here’s what it looked like when I was done.

#!/bin/sh

# first find which PHP binary to use
if test "x$PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN" != "x"; then
  PHP="$PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN"
else
  if test "/Applications/ZendServer/bin/php" = '@'php_bin'@'; then
    PHP=php-cli
  else
    PHP="/Applications/ZendServer/bin/php-cli"
  fi
fi

# then look for the right pear include dir
if test "x$PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR" != "x"; then
  INCDIR=$PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR
  INCARG="-d include_path=$PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR"
else
  if test "/Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR" = '@'php_dir'@'; then
    INCDIR=`dirname $0`
    INCARG=""
  else
    INCDIR="/Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR"
    INCARG="-d include_path=/Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR"
  fi
fi

exec $PHP -C -q $INCARG -d output_buffering=1 -d variables_order=EGPCS -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d register_argc_argv="On" -d auto_prepend_file="" -d auto_append_file="" $INCDIR/pearcmd.php "$@"

The changes in there are on lines 8 and 10, I changed php to php-cli.

Now I can go back to change the Pear php_bin config properly:

me:ZendServer laran$ sudo pear config-set php_bin /Applications/ZendServer/bin/php-cli

Just to be sure, I checked the include_path in /Applications/ZendServer/etc/php.ini. Be sure that /Applications/ZendServer/share/pear/PEAR is on the path.

Restart apache with sudo /Applications/ZendServer/apache2/bin/apachectl restart

Lastly, any modules I’d installed while Pear was still configured to install them to /opt/local have to be re-installed.

And with that, I was ready to rock! Hope this helps.
