Re: OCI8 and Listener

Hi. Stefan the returned error is TNS-12162 TNS:service name is incorrectly specified Cause: The connect descriptor corresponding to the service name in TNSNAMES.ORA is incorrectly specified. Action: Make sure there are no syntax errors in the connect descriptor. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable. See the SQL*Net V2 Administrator's Guide. This allways seems to be an error with PHP4 they identify an TNS error as ORA error. Check oracle a76999.pdf for all errors. Try tnsping <dbname> to see if your TNSNAMES.ora is set correct. You do NOT need to start a listener on the machine where the application runs, only on the server. > Stefan Fokuhl schrieb: > Hi, > > i've compiled my php modul with oci8.But I can't connect to my db.
