Instead compile apache yourself, adding LDFLAGS=-lpthreads to your environment before configuring apache. See several mails by Thies regarding this issue. - Either add the directory that contains libclntsh.so.8.0 (usually $ORACLE_HOME/lib) to /etc/ld.so.conf file and run ldconfig OR modify apachectl (or whatever startscript you use) that it adds the above dir to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. - Add ORACLE_HOME to the environment, either by setting it in the environment of the user starting apache or by also exporting it in the apache startscript. Otherwise you won't be able to connect to Oracle. Especially using PutEnv in httpd.conf does _not_ work. -Andreas -- Andreas Karajannis GMD National Research Center for Information Technology Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53754 Sankt Augustin Phone +49 2241 142948
