Re: php and oracle

Dieter, Can you share some of your migration experiences? Why did you migrate to Oracle and what problems did you face? Miscellaneous thoughts follow: Regarding the error, search the bdump trace files for 3114 or other ORA-xyz errors. You may need to get Oracle Support involved if there are any. Your trace file dir seems huge. The Administrator's guide has some info about controlling the sizes: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10739/manproc.htm#sthref655 Effectively you delete what you don't need. Hopefully PHP5 will stabilize quickly. I recall a stern warning in the PHP manual about not using Apache 2. I can't find it currently - anyone know if it has been rescinded? The troubleshooting FAQ mentions restarting Apache occasionally to avoid connection problems. (See http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/opensource/php/php_troubleshooting_faq.html#conmgt) I feel that the Oracle-PHP community needs to get together and work on through the various connection issues. Anyone want to participate? Chris D.Wilkening wrote:

Hi, we are not really trained in analyzing Oracle-logs. I've been using Mysql and Mssql for years, but the migration was more difficult, than I thought. In $ORACLE_HOME/admin/%database% I have Gigabytes of logs, so do not know, where to start... du -sch *

1.5G    bdump
166M    cdump
28K     create
8.0K    pfile
282K    udump
1.7G    total

well, for the apache-problem, I've found an "solution" (not the straight way, but it seems to work so far): using apache_child_terminate doesn't work (probably apache2 compiled against nptl (linux kernel 2.6), apache_child_terminate doesn't work in an multi-threaded env) so I cought the php-error using set_error_handler. Inside of this error-method, I did an "posix_kill(getmypid(),15);" I know, I won't win the programmers Nobel-Prize for that crap, but it works so far; dropped connections are reconnected.

Hi everyone, i've a problem using php with oracle 10g. (php 5.0.1 compiled against Oracle 10.1.0.2-libs, apache2 and apache1) One or two days, everything looks good. Then, by pressing (once a second) reload in your browser, you sometimes get an ERROR #: 2 ERROR DESC: oci_execute() [<a href='function.oci-execute'>function.oci-execute</a>]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-03114: Nicht mit ORACLE verbunden restarting apache solves the problem, but is no real option. My first idea was the connection pooling, so i tried a ocilogon instead ociPlogon, but the problem dodn't solve. Any Ideas? Thank you in advance

Are there any clues in the database trace files? Chris
