[RESOLVED] Crypt Blowfish / Pear assistance req'd

Rodders

Hi folks

I'm helping put together a shopping cart website using Zen Cart and have recently set up a payment module which relies upon Crypt Blowfish.

I don't know anything about that or Pear. I'm simply following instructions on how to install the payment module, but now I need some technical assistance with configuring my shared hosting.

I think the problem is that either Crypt Blowfish isn't installed on the server, or that the PHP running on my webspace cannot see the Pear code. Or both.

Some additional info:

attempts to put an include_path in my site's .htaccess cause an internal server error. I think that's because PHP is running in CGI mode. So I need to use the php.ini file to affect some changes.

I found a php.ini file in a shared folder which was write protected so I made a copy and placed it in my root webspace. When I add an include path to the Pear code folder, it causes my PHP includes to break

I'm out of my depth here. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks

your host should be able to answer your questions, obviously they know more about the system set up than us.

Thanks.
In the end I found some support from the people that created the Zen Cart payment module.
I had to install Blowfish into my own webspace as I couldn't find the path to the one that is (allegedly) already installed on the server.
I then managed to create a custom php.ini file to point at this custom Blowfish location.
