#34533 [Fbk->Opn]: LDAP cannot connect when linked against Oracle LDAP libraries

ID: 34533 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: liamr at umich dot edu -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux 2.4.31 PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-09-16 (snap) New Comment: You're just doing it wrong. Works fine for me using this configure line: # export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome_1 # ./configure --disable-all \ '--with-ldap=/home/oracle/OraHome_1 And using the PHP CLI binary on command line, run your script.. Note: I have Oracle 10.1.0.3 libs.

Do you get any error messages or something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:43:11] liamr at umich dot edu I am setting ORACLE_HOME in my apache startup script. Doesn't help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 22:36:09] sniper@php.net I'm reclassifying this as documentation problem. The solution is quite simple actually. If you'd use the oracle database functions, they wouldn't work any better either. You have to ALWAYS set the environment correctly when dealing with Oracle. For me, setting ORACLE_HOME was enough. More information about these environment variables can be found at http://www.php.net/oci8 There should be a note about this in the LDAP section of the manual.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 21:56:23] liamr at umich dot edu It's not much more complicated, but here.. <pre> <?php if (!extension_loaded('ldap')) { if (!dl('oracleldap.so')) { exit; } } echo( "<h3>LDAP query test</h3>" ); echo( "Connecting ..." ); $ds=ldap_connect('ldap.itd.umich.edu', 389); print_r( $ds ); echo( "connect result is ".$ds."<p>" ); if ($ds) { echo( "Binding ..." ); $r=ldap_bind($ds); echo( "Bind result is ".$r."<p>" ); echo( "Closing connection" ); ldap_close( $ds ); } else { echo( "<h4>Unable to connect to LDAP server</h4>" ); } ?> </pre> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-16 21:25:49] sniper@php.net Obviously the script you provided in your report is not the one you used to generate that (useless) strace. Can you please show the code you tried? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
