I have worked through the Django tutorial parts 1 and 2 with an Oracle back end using the development server. Everything worked fine. I now want to use a real server - Apache + mod_wsgi. I've got to the point where I get an "Improperly Configured at /" page, which shows the following:
Exception Type: ImproperlyConfigured > Exception Value: Error loading cx_Oracle module: libclntsh.so.11.1: > cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > Exception Location: > /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/oracle/base.py in > <module>, line 46 > Line 46 raises exception ImproperlyConfigured on a try block which imports cx_Oracle. cx_Oracle is properly installed. In my desktop environment: $ python > >>> import cx_Oracle > works fine. I also export LD_LIBRARY_PATH which points to where libclntsh.so.11.1 resides. If I clear this environment variable, import cx_Oracle fails with: ImportError: libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot open shared object file: No such > file or directory > It looks like I have to tell my app what my path to libclntsh.so.11.1 is. I have added: os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib' > to my app's wsgi.py file, but this does resolve my problem. Can anyone assist with how to progress this?
