LDAP Support for CactiEZ

[jmjones]

Does any one know how to get the ldap support when using the cactiEZ installer. Pear seems to be broken.

When I issue "pear install net_ldap"
First: I got the no build with state equal to stable
Next: I changed my preferred state "pear config-set preffered_State alpha". It tries to install, but ends up saying.. No handlers for package.xml version 2.0

I am a windows user trying to get by with linux, so thanks for the help.

Redhat 4 has a really old verison of Pear, but there isn't much I can do about that at install time. Here is what you do to upgrade it and get net_ldap.

First, goto here
http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR/download/1.3.3
and download v1.3.3, not any of the newer versions.

Extract the archive to a directory (the directory should have a xml file, and another folder in it). Then run this command
pear upgrade /path/to/PEAR-1.3.3

Now we will update to the lastest version
pear upgrade pear
pear upgrade-all

Now we need to install net_ldap, but you will get the same error about not finding a stable version, so we just force it
pear install -f net_ldap
