PEAR Headache
Im trying to install pear and something is right.
I'm following along with the book from Apress "Beginning PHP5 and MySQL E-Commerce"
The book is a tutorial of sort that builds a site from beginning to end called T-Shirt Shop. So when ever that name is referenced you will know why
This is what it says to do.
Use web browser to navigate to Http://pear.php.net/go-pear.php. This page contains the source code for a page. Save that code as a file named go-pear.php in your tshirtshop/libs folder, and then run it by loading it (http://localhost/tshirtshop/libs/go-pear.php) into a web browser.
I cannot get past that point. For some reason my browser is not finding my go-pear.php file and I'm getting the ole "page cannot be found". I've restarted the server and still cant get it to go. Does anyone have any idea what I should do? I've read the Pear Manual but that doesn't help.

Well since the link comes up with a 404 error (the http://pear.php.net/go-pear.php link), I would say that there is either a typo in the book, or it is just an outdated link. Try going to the website for the book and see if they have an update.
Ok, as I had a minute, I looked for your. See http://www.apress.com/book/errataDisplay.html?bID=356&sID=2620 for all the corrrections they have to the book. However, this bad link is not one of them.
If the link they tell you to go to is a bad page, what exactly did you save to your server? The more I'm thinking about it, I'm really hoping you posted a bad URL here. To be quite honest (and not trying to be mean), but if that is the correct URL, and you got a 404 error, and continued on thinking it would work, I'm hoping this is purely for hobby then.

Sorry you might have misunderstood me.
I got the source code for pear. Saved it in the Libs folder as go-pear.php but I cannot pull up the file that I saved to install pear.
I should have said that better in my first post.
