Bug #1557 Updated: connection to oracle fails sometimes

ID: 1557 User Update by: stefang@feedback.de Status: Closed Bug Type: Oracle related Description: connection to oracle fails sometimes Thank you very much for your efforts !!! We found a reason for the problems described in this report: Every time a php script sets wrong enviroment variables (e.g. a not existing path) and the db connect fails, other php scripts, although setting the right enviroment, run into errors connecting to the database. So everything seems to run alright until the 'bad' script is executed by the server. We solved the problem by setting the enviroment variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, ORA_NLS, NLS_LANG) in the apache start script 'apachectl' and not in the php scripts itself.
