I feel a little stupid posting a query and then posting a solution to it, but here goes:
Since I had installed the oracle client as user oracle, I had to give apache permission to access the oracle files: chmod 750 /home/oracle usermod -G oracle apache usermod -G oracle nobody And add the following line in /etc/rc.d.init.d/httpd export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraInst1 (or whatever your oracle home is.....) Everything worked fine after that with a restart of apache. If someone wants, I can write the steps out in another mail. Regards, Vinu.
