Pear DB and MySQL

[Anon]

Okay, so I have a working install of mysql and a working install of php 4.1.1 on an aix machine.

When I run a make test command, pear db fails...miserably.

Pear is installed in $HOME/php/pear

I've tried editing my php.ini-dist file to set the include_path to include the pear directory but no luck.

Mysql is installed on port 1157 -- do I need to specify that as well? I don't think php is seeing pear, but I could be wrong...how do i determine what is causing the problem? I can build and edit databases in mysql, but could the mysql installation be the problem?

Help!!

Thanks,
Brian

er, you need to change the name from php.ini-dist to php.ini

I've done that...I've also set the mysql port to 1157 in the php.ini file.

I can't run as superuser, so I can't so the make install -su command...

Here's what I have specified in the relevant sections of php.ini:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/php/includes:/php/pear"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
doc_root =

; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~usernamem used only
; if nonempty.
user_dir =

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = ./

; Whether or not to enable the dl() function. The dl() function does NOT work
; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically
; disabled on them.
enable_dl = On
