Description:
Hi,

I'm running nginx on aws lightsail, I have installed PEAR Mail as in the documentation but when I try loading Mail.php into my app, I get the error:

FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning:  require_once(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php/Mail.php

php --ini

 php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib
Loaded Configuration File:         /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed:      (none)

the loaded php.ini file has this in the "include_path"

include_path = ".:/opt/bitnami/php/lib/php"

pear config-get php_dir shows

I have tried updating the include_path to that line above and it throws this error:

*1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: require_once(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php/Mail.php on line 48 PHP message: PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:/bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php') in /bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php/Mail.php on line 48"
`

Please help!

the pear php dir is:

pear config-get php_dir
/bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php

Hi @dave83,

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. Our team is going to evaluate it and we will update this thread as soon as we have more information.

Sorry for the inconvenience

So, I got around this issue by adding both directories to the include_path

'.:/bitnami/ruby23stack-linux-x64/output/php/lib/php:.:/opt/bitnami/php/lib/php'

But I would like to understand why this happened to begin with, I installed pear mail and smtp as in the bitnami documentation on a new Lightsail Nginx instance.

Hi @dave83, that's great. We've reproduced this issue, it seems to be happening on PHP 7.x installations.

Unfortunately we cannot provide an ETA for when it will be fixed but we'll update this thread with any update.

Hi @dave83, we have identified a fix for this issue.

Edit /opt/bitnami/php/bin/php and add the following lines below the shebang ("#!/bin/sh"):

PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR=/opt/bitnami/php/etc
export PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR

After that it should work.

We'll work on applying this fix in the upcoming week.
