note 110226 added to oci8.installation

Lost a day on trying to make work oci8 & pdo_oci extensions in php-fpm 5.3 on OpenSuSE 12.2 (64bit) with latest oracle instant client 11.2.0.3.0. Any of two works normally with generic instructions. But both extensions caused crash in oci_connect(). Solution was simple add ORACLE_HOME variable BEFORE running php-fpm. /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh #!/bin/bash ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib NLS_LANG=american_america.utf8 export ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH NLS_LANG /etc/init.d/php-fpm ..... . /etc/rc.status . /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh # add this after rc.status (note: dot & space) ..... After "service php-fpm restart" works normally. Hope this helps. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 62.141.102.248 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110226 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110226 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110226 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
