You need to find Mail.php (pear list-files Mail) on your system and identify why it is not I your include path. Be aware your include path may be different between cli and web. – AD7six
Hi..thanks for the reply.when i try this (pear list-files Mail) php /home/ec2-user/pear/share/pear/Mail.php and include_path is .:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php – Rajaraman
need to change include path ? – Rajaraman
Certainly looks that way, yes. – AD7six
hi.. i had set include path like this set_include_path('.:/home/ec2-user/pear/share/pear:/home/ec2-user/pear/share/pear'); in top of the php page, But i am getting the same fatal error only. – Rajaraman

Ignore the Pear message.

You need to find the correct path to Mail.php.

If it is in the same folder then it will look like this: 

require_once('Mail.php')

If not, then use absolute path. EG: 

require_once('/var/www/Mail.php')

Or whatever the relative path is:

require_once('directory/Mail.php')

Use terminal to check where Pear is installing .php files. Use command pear config-get php_dir to get the right directory. Use the Pear Manual to verify you Pear configuration and for debug.
