PHP::Compat is a PEAR package that provides backward-compatibility for certain PHP functions. We ship it with Geeklog, so make sure you have PEAR configured correctly: Geeklog and PEAR

If you can't use ini_set and PEAR is not installed on your server, then you are out of luck and should consider switching hosting services.


I thing this is the case with my hosting service! Hard Luck!

Do you see a message about problems with ini_set in your error.log?

Try asking your hosting service for help.

Plan B would be to find all the places where we load PEAR packages and hard-code the path to the supplied packages (in system/pear) there. But that's quite a bit of work ...

Assuming you have $_CONF['have_pear'] = false (which is the default), then Geeklog will try to set the proper path to its PEAR packages on every page. And if that fails, it would log "ini_set failed - there may be problems using the PEAR classes."

In other words, if something with the PEAR setup was wrong, you should have lots of those messages in your error.log.

Can you send emails from your Geeklog site? That's another function that depends on PEAR.

This is what is the response form my web server


We do have Pear installed on your web server and you may also use ini_set function in your php scripts, so please recheck it once again with your web application developers and let us know should you need any further assistance from our side.


Now that settles one issue. what else bugging me. could you please help?!

So I assume sending emails from Geeklog worked? If so, this may be an issue with the Forum plugin.

what do you mean by "this is an issue with Forum Plugin" ?

My mistake or there is inherent problem in the software? is there a way can trouble shoot?

By the by, i tried mail users and send a mail to the user admin.

This is the message I got. Thanks Dirk!

I meant that it could simply be a bug in the Forum plugin - in the way it tries to load that PEAR package.

Actually, this has already been discussed over on Blaine's site, it seems:
