[geeklog-devel] Re: Updated Installer

[Pat F]

Ok fellows, I downloaded the go-geeklog script to my server and ran it
with:

  /usr/www/cgi-bin/php4.cgi -q ./go-geeklog


Originally, I was getting this error message:

Go-geeklog 1.3.7-1

Copyright (c) 2002 The Geeklog Development Team
Portions Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group and used under
the terms of the PHP License.

ERROR: PEAR not foundbash-2.05$



So, I went ahead and added this line to your script (I believe it was on
line 46) right next to all your other ini_set() calls:

  ini_set('include_path', '/usr/local/lib/php');



So it almost works, but now I get this error:


1-9, 'all' or Enter to continue:
HTTP proxy (host:port), or Enter for none:

Any other assistance on what I'll need to do to get this working?  Tim was
hoping this would be done today so that we could release the newsletter.

Thanks,
