Right, this is the first step. Then try to conenct to the database via sqlplus, if this succeds the client is properly configured and you can begin to recompile php. The recompilation is quite easy. 1. You need to fill the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the path to the oracle libraries. Somewhere in the oracle install directory. Have a look at the .so files there, should be the right path. To have the environment variables ORACLE_SID nad ORACLE_HOME filled too isn't so bad after all. 2. ./configure needs one or two new switches, depending on which functions you want to use. If you want to have only the oci8 functions you only need to append --with-oci8 to your configure string. If you want also the old oracle seven functions also append --with-oracle. 3. Be sure to delete the config.cache and also to do a "make clean" before configure and make. 4. restart apache, call the phpinfo and be lucky Greetings Markus -- Markus Boehmer SSI Schaefer Shop GmbH Datenbankadministration/-entwicklung mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
