Compiling OCI8 into php4/apache

Hi everyone, I have compiled OCI-support into php4/apache and now two problems: -Connecting and reading data succeeds from the db, but a zombie-process after fetching a site (=session) remains: wwwrun 18188 1.9 2.2 11004 4416 ? R Mar28 24:58 \_ /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/httpd.conf oracle 18269 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar28 0:00 | \_ [oracle <defunct>] oracle 18273 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar28 0:00 | \_ [oracle <defunct>] oracle 18275 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar28 0:00 | \_ [oracle <defunct>] oracle 18279 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar28 0:00 | \_ [oracle <defunct>] -How could I use another db as given in ORACLE_SID? The third parameter of int OCILogon(string username, string password, string [ORACLE_SID]); is not required, $ORACLE_SID is used instead. This works here because apache and the oraserver are located on the same host (a system for learning and testing) My db has a global name test2, the naming method is 'TNSNAMES' and tnsping test2 Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=erik)(PORT=1521)) OK (50 msec) works properly. Why I can't use 'test2' as third parameter in OCILogon? (the default domain is also set): oci_open_server: ORA-12514: TNS:Listener konnte in Verbindungsdeskriptor angegebenen SERVICE_NAME nicht auflösen Evironment: i856-ibmpc-linux (SuSE6.3), Linux version 2.2.13 (root@stott) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Tue Nov 9 00:09:41 GMT 1999 apache1.3.9. php4.0b3 (linked statically) with oracle 8.1.5.0.2 EE,adabas PE 11.0, mysql 3.22.27 Many thanks in advantance (or so). oli.
