This is related to a change Oracle did in their Oracle_Home definition in the registry values. One way to fix this is to either tinker with the registery, or do a ppm install DBD:Oracle8. -----Original Message----- From: READY, MIKE P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 1:51 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Problem connecting from new PC Group- Okay, this is probably a really dumb one but I haven't run into this before. I just moved to a new project group and took over an existing PC which has two OracleHomes (d:\Oracle\Ora81 or c:\Oracle\Ora81) one can switch between. I installed Active State Perl 5.6.1 build 629, DBD-Oracle 1.06 and DBI 1.14. When I attempt to run a program (using either Oracle Home), I get an error at the connect string line - e.g. for line 29 below $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:$dbalias","$userid","$pwd") or die "Can't connect\n"; I get: DBI->connect(classt) failed: (DBD: login failed, check your config, e.g. ORACLE_HOME/bin on your PATH etc) at PST.TMP line 29 Can't connect Path contains: d:\Oracle\Ora81\bin;C:\Oracle\Ora81\bin;D:\Python21\;D:\Perl\bin\;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\S ystem32\Wbem;C:\Oracle\Ora81\orb\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\MDL Shared\ISIS Like I said, this is probably trivial, but I have never had this on several previous installations and am clueless. I will gladly accept any insults that accompany a description of what I need to fix. Regards, Mike Ready
