Backed up old pear to /usr/local/php/bin//pear_old The 'pear' command is now at your service at /usr/local/php/bin/pear [root@test]# /usr/local/php/bin/pear -bash: /usr/local/php/bin/pear: No such file or directory

From the message, Your installation seems OK, and typing 'pear' at your shell or command prompt should work. Just as the warning says: Do a channel-update "pear.php.net" at your shell or command prompt. > pear channel-update "pear.php.net" That should fix the warning. Probably then, if you will feel comfortable, you can also upgrade to a latest version of PEAR with, >pear upgrade-all The upgrade is just to make sure all components you have latest changes in PEAR with them.

Well, ok, but what to do on a shared hosting package, when I dont have any access to a shell?
