From what I've seen, LDAP works consistantly if I set ORACLE_HOME in the webserver's startup scripts. I don't know why the openldap stuff wasn't working. I guess the point is moot until I *have* to use openldap (which probably won't happen unless the PHP LDAP code learns how to bind w/ kerberos). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-23 11:41:28] venaas@php.net I'm sorry, I don't have any solutions for you. I guess no one else does either. First of all, have you tried to supply an IP address, so that we can be sure it's not DNS related? Did you try to build with the Oracle 8i LDAP? You can do that with something like --with-ldap=/usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.6 It would be interesting to know whether the problem was still there. If you use OpenLDAP 2.x and very latest PHP snapshot, you can get debugging output by doing ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7); at the beginning of your script. Last parameter is a bit mask. If you don't want to use latest PHP, the easiest is to add something like int debug = 7; ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, &debug); inside PHP's ldap_connect(). You could also try to add some debugging code in the OpenLDAP library (or use gdb or something). I would then try to add a printf() to the beginning of ldap_init() in libldap/open.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-10 01:17:38] liamr@umich.edu tried it with php built into apache statically. same problem.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 01:19:33] liamr@umich.edu I just watched the wire w/ tcpdump - there's no communication between the webserver and the LDAP server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
