Answer 1

That is most likely that:

• You have not uploaded/installed the pear package or
• You are not specifying the correct path

Answer 2

The one solution I found when I encountered this problem was to place the PEAR.php and PEAR5.php in the root folder of the website. PEAR has files available on their website for manual installation which you can use for that.

Another way would be to change the include_path of your php.ini so that it searches the file on the location you have placed them in. Which would take some more work and which I haven't tried that yet since I didn't want to spend time on it.
