I'm very bad at server administration duties and would love to learn more. I'm needing to install 3 pear packages: NET_Url, NET_Socket, HTTP_Request.

I've found plenty of resources on HOW to install pear packages but none on WHERE to install them.

I would guess that anywhere OUTSIDE of the public directories may be ok.

I'm on a Red-Hat box and my pear installation is in /usr/share/pear...

Any help would be appreciated..
thanks

    Well - thanks for the tip... but no 🙁 still clueless.

      $ pear install extname

      This will download the source for extname, compile, and install extname.so into your extension_dir. extname.so may then be loaded via php.ini

      Look deeper than just 1 link in.... the answers are in the manual....
