Re: Oracle TNS problems with PHP4?

We have a Linux/Apache/PHP combination working with Informix and Oracle. The first thing we do is to get the Apache and PHP sources. After that is needed to compile Apache. With both PHP extensions (Oracle or Informix) you must install the development libraries, installing the server or client. Use the next lines on the command line for PHP (depends of Informix or Oracle): ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 --enable-track-vars --with-informix=../informix/... (for more info contact Marko Perich perich@araucaniasur.cl , Sorry Marko :) ) or --with-oracle=/home/client_ora/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 --with-oci8=/home/client_ora/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 Oracle Environment: (I put all this vars in httpd.conf of apache configuration... maybe its the wrong way, but its work)- NLS_LANG american ORA_NLS33 /home/client_ora/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/ocommon/nls/admin/data ORACLE_BASE /home/client_ora/app/oracle ORACLE_HOME /home/client_ora/app/oracle/product/8.1.6 ORACLE_SID ORCL TNS_ADMIN /home/client_ora/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/admin FOR ORACLE THIS VARS ARE V E R Y IMPORTANT, I spend 30 min trying to understand why I get the TNS error, after of the TNS_ADMIN declaration Gotcha! all works. Also not forget to activate the PHP module on Apache compile. Regards - Saludos, Juan M. Wagner
