The pear icon is not showing in cPanel

[WebHostPro]

Hi,

One of my servers is not showing PEAR in the accounts cPanel. I checked and it's installed with easy apache 4 and it's listed with the package manager.

Hello,

Can you verify the "PHP Pear Packages" option is enabled for the feature list associated with the account in "WHM >> Feature Manager"? If so, can you check if "/usr/local/bin/pear" exists on this server? EX:

stat /usr/local/bin/pear

Also, what version of cPanel is installed on this server?

Thank you.

Hi I get :

stat: cannot stat â/usr/local/bin/pearâ: No such file or directory

when I run:

stat /usr/local/bin/pear

Hello,

Could you verify which version of cPanel is installed on this server? On a test server running cPanel 64, the following symbolic link exists:

# ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep pear
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root      38 Jul  3 17:20 pear -> /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pear

You can manually setup the symbolic link with a command like this if it does not exist:

ln -s /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pear /usr/local/bin/pear

That should allow the PEAR icon to appear in cPanel.

Thank you.

Sure it's:
CLOUDLINUX 7.3 x86_64 kvm – lv66 - cPanel & WHM 64.0 (build 36)

I did a forced update as well and still no icon.

I also ran ln -s /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pear /usr/local/bin/pear and still no icon.

I can throw a ticket in, just wanted to see if it was an easy fix.

Hi @WebHostPro,

Could you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look?

Thank you.

Creating a link using this command resolved my issue,

I also ran ln -s /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pear /usr/local/bin/pear and still no icon.

BUT I HAD TO CHECK MY PHP VERSION, TO MAKE SURE I DONT COPY PASTE, AS THE CODE GIVEN ABOVE IS FOR EA-PHP70 AND MY EA72, so guys better be careful, needs little workout to find your version of easyapache PHP used in affected cpanel to run above command
